blood donation

last sunday tzu chi melaka was having a blood donation event and my friend + colleague asked me to go there as volunteer. before this i had went there as volunteer for quite some times. this time as usual i went there on 7.45am and start helping for some preparation job. the event start at 9am and end at 3pm but some ppl already come around 8.30am. after the medical persons arrived and setup all their stuff, then we start the event.

i was located at a position to bring the donor after blood examination to doctor explanation counter. due to only got 2 doctors, so they have to wait for their turn. at the beginning not so many ppl the queue is still ok but when the donor started to pile up, event the chairs we prepare not enough and some of the ppl can see their face changing. but what can we do, only got 2 doctors and some time they need reconfirm the donor blood pressure or need to do some extra questioning to ensure the donor is qualify for donation.

we all very busy until our lunch time need to be delay from 12pm to 1pm and after eating need to go back to our position again. the doctor also never eat until around 1.30pm, one of the doctor cannot withstand the hunger and went to have his lunch. but the other doctor (muslim doctor) only have a bread as her lunch.

around 2.30pm, the crowds finally over and it my turn to donate. so i asked my friend to cover my position and i went to register for donation. as usual, i took a number and weigh my weight (u need to be above 45kg to donate blood and i am 63kg, passed). after that, i went to fill in the form and answer a series of question in the form. then when to register my data in their system (done by the medical person, they used laptop as a database to key in all the ppl come to donate blood). after registration, they will chek ur blood pressure see if its normal. then they need to do some blood examination (at this stop, 1st timer will get a new donation book in red color). if u are 1st timer or donno ur blood type, they have to do some test to examine ur blood type. after that, they will check if ur blood is enough to donate or not by putting some of ur blood in a blue color potion (donno is iodin or what liao) and see if ur blood will float or sink. if sink then u are passed, if not, they will use another device to check whether u can donate or not. after finish and passed the blood examination, i went to see the doctor for some explanation and answer a few question. yesh... i am passed. next stop is to take the blood bag to keep ur blood. after taken the blood bag, its time to make ur decision to donate through ur left or right hand. for me, i use my right hand coz my left hand's vascular is too near to the side and hard to put the needle in. then go to the donation chair, lie down and wait for the nurse to do their job.

1st they will wrap ur upper arm with the blood measure device and pump it to give pressure to ur arm so they can find ur vascular. after found ur vascular, they will give u a small injection (donno what is it) in ur vascular and then put in the needle to let the blood flow to the blood bag. they will give u a stick like thing to hold and u need to keep pressing it so that ur blood can flow. after a while, the blood bag filled with the right amount of ur blood (mine is 450cc), the nurse will stop it and take out the needle. violah... finish. but u need to stay on the chair for a while coz ur had lost some blood and need to rest. if u direct wake up, u may feel dizzy or even faint. so make sure u stay down for some time. after finish donation, they will give u some thing to eat and drink to replenish ur energy.

this was my 8th times of blood donation. it was a good thing to do coz u can help others that need it. i will keep on doing this when i got chance. actually u can go to the hospital to do the blood donation and no need to wait for this blood donation event. but i am lazy lor... hahaha...

when i finish donating its already around 3pm and they started to pack up part by part. i help awhile then went back... went to One You. hahaha

p.s: donno got any misconduct or not. this is my point of view. hope will not give wrong info. hahaha...

p.s2: forgot to take some photo to put here. look so plain. ><"
