I’ve donated my B+ blood 40+ times and the hospital said as I have now a blood bank, I could also donate to anyone “debited” from my account and if it wasn’t the right blood type needed, they would swap it for a preferred blood type. So if anyone is desperate for blood, they could refer to the SJMC Blood Bank division and they would contact me for my approval. I’d give it away free BTW, comparing notes, the staff told me then a bag full of blood cost RM250.
One thing I realized the experience after a blood donation is like after a berkam treatment because within the next few months one feels invigorated as new blood is developed. Another benefit of blood donation … if one exploits it to the maximum of 41> blood donations donor gets “Full exemption from treatment and ward charges in the second class and free out-patient treatment at any time” Not bad at all but need to start early because one can only donate 4x/yr.
Lastly, you cannot zoom off after a blood donation. You are required and they will serve you something light to eat and drink to build up your strength. At the Blood bank HQ and at Batu Gajah hospital, I was served bee hoon goreng and coffee.
