To day I went to meet my relative who admitted in the hospital for pelvis joint surgery, she was in the intensive care unit(ICU) visitors not allowed at any time, I had to wait for 4 pm to see her in the ICU. It was 2 pm so I decided to wait 2 more hours in the hospital, mean while i visit sevaral dippartments in the hospital since it was one of the big multi-specialty hospital in the city.
There I found a blood bank, I already donated my blood 6 times earlier, last time i donated a year back at a blood bank conducted by LIONS club. So i decided to donate blood today since I have 2 hours time.
When I enter the blood bank, I was asked about me and my blood group, they given me a form to fill out, after these formalities I was waiting in the room for my turn to donate blood.
Finally the called me and check my blood, blood pressure and body weight it was 70 kg, they told me to lay on the bed, a nurse inject a needle on my right hand and connect the hose to the blood pocket to collect my blood, and gave me a ball to press so that the blood flow easily into the pocket. I told her to take a photo, she agreed and too 3 shots, i thanked her.
Almost 10 minutes gone, she said finished and removed the needle and everything, she safely packed and stored in a vault. I took a rest up to 15 minutes, they gave me a cup of juice and a biscuit pocket to eat and also an appreciation certificate, and that was my 7th blood donation event, I thought today some how I saved a life. Thanks for #ulog to share such a event.
