i've donated once in high school.... like 4 years ago.
the person who did it was a complete moron. they kept playing with the needle while it was in my arm because the blood was coming out slow. the experience messed me up for quite a while. normally, i am not afraid of needles but ever since that experience when i give blood i pass out. i've never been afraid of needles in my life. i hold my arm out like a champ.. i dont flinch but for some unknown reason my body takes over and i'll start to lose it. now everytime before i give blood samples (dr. check up..etc), i tell the workers to get smelling salts ready... i might need it.
i'll probably never donate blood again.
