 Well... I'm not that much brave when it comes to blood and sugary :), but I decided to make it and donate a blood unit when the blood bank caravan landed 50 meters away from my office at Queen Rania Center for Entrepreneurship.
My workmate Basel was there too, we went to the clinic first to make the necessary blood test. The blood test was really painful :( (but I acted as "don’t care" مش فارقة). They've cut my finger (couchhhhhh!!!!) and pulled my blood out into 3 tubes containing special chemicals that indicate blood type and concentration of hemoglobin. My blood type is "O+" and I figured out that the concentration of hemoglobin is 16.6, which is considered to be very good.. hamdullah (touch the wood) :) I moved to the caravan … laid on a cushioned bench and extended my arm. The doctor smiled, when I told him: "I'm a soft hearted person.. I hope you would reduce the pain as much as you can!", then he placed a cannula in my vein, and asked me to keep opening and closing my hand to help speed the blood withdrawal process… I felt the flux of blood :( for the first time! Right after I've finished, I have been kindly asked to set down for a while drinking sweet juice… to recover back some of my energy…
I LOVED the experience:), even though I felt a little bit tired afterward. And I encourage you ALL to do it, not just because it is good for your health, but also to express your good intention to help people and rescue their lives… you have to feel it, when you donate blood ... really you do. Make sure when you donate blood… you give it from the bottom of heart…
