I’m so sad…I tried to give blood today, but I got rejected…yet AGAIN. According to the resident, anyone who’s traveled to Asia has to wait 12 months until they can donate blood. Uh…last time I checked, ‘Asia’ is pretty big and ‘Asia’ includes a lot of countries that are not disease-laden. But whatever, I guess it’s good to err on the safe side. What’s funny though is that the nurse who was reviewing my application was like, “Tibet? Where’s that?” It took them forever to try to find information on Tibet (apparently it’s not listed under China, heh), and when I looked it up for them on the map, it was just marked as ‘disputed territory’. So I didn’t get to donate blood, poop. Last time was just ridiculous though, because apparently at that time, I was hypotensive. I honestly don’t think that anyone with a blood pressure of 68/42 would be conscious, but I think that it was because they used a cuff that was too large for my reading. Today my reading was 93/68…still a bit low, and that kinda worries me a bit. 0_0 I should start eating more salt..
