Tuesday September 11, 2007 | 9/11: Giving Blood Today | Life |
Today I honor the memory of 9/11 by donating blood.
I urge anyone who is able to donate to do so. Blood cannot be manufactured and donations are the only way of obtaining it.
The list of requirements to donate is long so if you've never given blood before call or visit the web site of a local blood bank. The screening process is to protect the recipient of the blood. There are no dangers to you, the donor.
The Red Cross is a good place to donate, as are your local hospitals and blood banks. You can donate about once every 60 days so if not today then make it a regular thing.
If not for the benefit of mankind, donate for the free cookies and juice.

Perhaps you're already read this story from Boing Boing where a maintenance worker was sprayed with blood from the sewer. Yes, how charming. He complained how awful is was that he got blood in his mouth The story went on to say how workers will now be required to wear masks, but just by that particular medical laboratory, which can apparently legally dump human and animal blood into the sewer (how nice).
The focus of the story was how awful it was to have blood in your mouth (and I'm sure it is), but I just couldn't help wondering why these worker don't mind all of the that other stuff in the sewer spraying into their mouths. I can just picture this guy cleaning the sewer, dead rats and human feces flying all around, and none of that bothering him. But when the blood gets in his mouth he's spitting it out all day because he can't get the taste out. I guess everything else tastes okay?
You couldn't get me into a sewer without a deep sea diving suit sprayed with Teflon and these guys are down there without masks. Sheesh.
