Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I'm glad I asked the question about blood donation. It seems to have sparked quite a bit of discussion. Neil, I agree about the fire insurance theory, but I believe I'll risk it this time. I guess I just feel lucky. > > > Thanks again for the input on blood donations for myself.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 But insurance is differnt, if your house is on fire or you are an accident there is no back up but charity I suppose. if you are in the hospital and need blood your going to get blood which is why it probably isn't all that necessary! also keep in mind most places your DR has to order it so he or she does have the last word. At any rate it doesn't sound as if it doing it could do to much damage or too much help. > > > > Thanks again for the input on blood donations for myself.
