When I went, they did a quick test (I can't remember what it was for!)
To check iron levels me thinks
They aim to take a pint, but depending on how fast your blood is flowing, they'll take that little bit more or a little less

oh..
they also do an AIDS test.. and check for some haemoglobin levels and blood group (of course).
but all this is done after they pack the blood.
it doesn't pain.. except during the injection of the needle... and a bit at the beginning when they tell you to squeeze your hand... it gets numb after a while.
but...if u take the proper precautions, its absolutely no problem.
oh also.. you shouldn't have had any alcohol/drugs 24 hours prior to the blood donation.

Tomorrow I donate! Which arm should I use, my Democratic arm or my Republican arm? Every donation counts!
