Saving a life by giving blood!


Summary
A woman donating blood
Every pint of blood can save up to three lives. These are facts you cannot deny. Too bad, that the blood donation has been decreased with seven percent. While there is a very interesting solution, donate at your workplace, it doesn’t happen very often. In 2011 workplaces donated 16% of all the blood, this was given by approximately 1500 persons. The NHSBT (National Health Service Blood and Transplant) would love to see an increase of 30% before the Olympic Games. Only in North Wales and England need 7000 units of blood a day, and that is only for the general treatments and operation, so the emergency’s aren’t even taken into account. All the NHSBT can do is hoping for an increase. Words: 121


Opinion
When I hear this, I am not pleased at all. I am a blood donator and an organ donator, because I think it is a noble thing to do. It takes maybe half an hour and you are taken care of, you get drinks and food and enough time to recover. They test you very well, your blood-condition is tested and they look for things like leukemia and other kinds of illness. I don’t understand why people don’t give this little time and effort for men’s health. I hope this article will give other people the thought that this is a good thing to do, and that you can give other people life by giving a little bit of your blood. Words: 121
