My First Blood Donation Experience

"New Blood for The World,

Equal Chance to Life."

This is the slogan of the Blood Donation andThalassemia Campaign held in UMS by a group of UMS students~

It was my first time donating blood after I passed the weight required... >.<

Feel very excited and scared at the same time...

Donating blood seems very pain.....

Signing my signature on their signing board~

Before we can donate our blood, we need to run a few test to ensure that we fulfill the criteria to be a donor~  

Here are some tips before donating your blood:

1. Have a good meal at least 3 hours before donating your blood

2. Avoid smoking on the day before donating blood.

3. You will be not eligible to donate blood if you have consumed alcohol 48 hours before donation.

Taking samples using a micro pipette which I used it in my labs too~

Testing for blood group... 

I just ran this lab just a week before the donation~

I have B group blood~

Getting my first blood donor log book~

After passing all the test,

finally it's time to donate my blood!

Ok.. I know I have weird expression...

I'm scared.....

But surprisingly, I don't really feel pain!

The nurse had good technique!!!
