I actually donate about twice a week to help pay bills. I agree with people hearing about the practice of blood for money and saying “that doesn’t sound healthy.”. I actually feel awful for 24 hours or more post donation.
It’s also really cool you don’t get saline anymore because the US is out of it. Just a Powerade and goldfish so you don’t pass out driving home
Only time I ever got a saline IV was a couple weeks ago when I split my head open (and yes I had been drinking) and ended up in the ICU. I woke up strapped to a hospital bed with no idea how I got there. I’m probably lucky to be alive. There is a non zero chance I tried to fight some cops.
