Hi! everyone again. I think you read my introduce already. I today I have a story to tell every
Do you know “ giving” is something that you give to other. And don’t want receive. Give will make you any have the most of happiness. The first giving in my life is ”blood donation” I heard news about that and I want to do it very much. Blood donation can help other life. Because of this reason i have a commitment of very seriously. First I need some information about blood donation.
1.Determine whether you’re an eligible donor. To give blood, you must be at least 17 years of age and a healthy weight, usually 110 pounds or heavier. In some places, you can donate blood as young as 16, provided you can show proof of parental consent. Call your local blood center ask about what they look for in a donor
2.Drink plenty of water. It’s important that you be nice and hydrated when giving blood, as water is essential for healthy blood chemistry and circulation. Try to drink at least 16 oz. of fluids prior to donating. Water, juice, or decaffeinated tea is best.
3.Eat a well-balanced meal a few hours before giving blood. Make sure you put something nutritious on your stomach prior to heading to the clinic. All the major food groups should be represented, including fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates (such as bread, pasta, or potatoes), fiber, and lean protein.
4.Bring your ID. Most clinics require donors to have 2 valid forms of photo identification when checking in. This could be a driver’s license, passport, or military ID, but some clinics may also accept student ID cards or similar forms of identification. You’ll present your ID to the person at the desk when you arrive.
The record I get a recommendation from a doctor to follow. I’m so excited I afraid can’t blood donate. And completing the donation process
1.Provide your basic medical information. Upon checking in, you’ll be given a few short forms to fill out. These forms will ask for your relevant medical history, as well as any illnesses, injuries, or unusual conditions you’ve recently experienced. Answer each question as honestly and accurately as possible.
2. Sit for a physical. Next, you’ll undergo a brief examination to confirm that your heart rate, blood pressure, and hemoglobin levels are normal. The technician may also record other physical stats like height, weight, sex, and age. They’ll then prepare you to give blood by positioning your arm and swabbing the injection site
3. Sit up or lie down. Let your technician know whether you’d prefer to be in an upright or reclined position while having your blood drawn, as well as which arm you want to give from. Once you’re ready to begin, relax and get comfortable. You’ll feel a small poke, then a subtle cool sensation while the machine slowly extracts your blood.
4. Keep yourself entertained while the technicians draw your blood. A book, smartphone, or mp3 player can be a welcome distraction while you’re attempting to sit still. If you’ve come unprepared, you could also pass the time by chatting with your technician or going over the day’s to-do list in your head. 8-10 minutes may sound like a long time, but it will be over before you know it.
5. Rest up. After you’ve finished making your donation, take it easy for at least 15-20 minutes. Most blood drives provide a designated rest area with places for donors to sit until they’ve regained their strength. If you feel dizzy or disoriented over the next 24 hours, lie down and put your feet up, elevated above your heart. The feeling will soon pass.
After result I’m very happy and this is the picture that I blood donate for the first time in my life.
