Urban myth? I can't recall where i heard it from. But within our profession.
I heard it many years ago that when there's real shortage of blood, they ask SAF to help.

I think they offer you something to donate. Not coercion, but ask the whole unit to donate lor. Maybe give u some off-in-lieu or don't have to participate in training that day 

These donation drives cannot gather enough one. How many people u know donate regularly? 
I've tried once, but my veins are too fine. Flow rate is too slow. Took me almost 50mins of ball squeezing to donate 1 pack. My hand was cramping...

Din know that the nurse alloeed to do that to the donors. Lol

I suspect Lala was donating something else...

do they still issue free parking for blood donors at NUH ?

I used to service the hospital so parking wasn't much of an issue. 

Donating blood was easy as I just take my laptop with me and chill out till the meeting starts at the blood bank. Donating blood back then VS now is the open question.

Has the IT system for donors secured ? Answer is a yes.

But many still fear the weakness of the personal data exposed.

Stock up for the festive season. Many ppl get injured during this period may it be car accidents and what's not.

Dra does that too.

I wondered repeated puncture of the veins by large bore needle over the years would that lead to anything damage.

 

Chronic drug addicts using injections do have damaged veins and they use smaller needles.

 

 

There is another way, no need for needles.

Looks like Blood Bank stock is low. Red Cross just called me up for an appointment.

Going next weekend.

It's the dawn of a new year. Let's donate so that our body get to create new blood. 

New blood 🩸. New energy 💪. HOCK KI LAH‼ 😁
