platelet donation

yesterday me and chun kit went for platelet donation to help out a friends aunt is in need of a platelet transplant. she needs around 20 to 30 bags of fresh platelet for the treatment to take effect entirely. so if anyone interested to help please let me know. your help will be greatly appreciated. well the process will take sometime unless your someone like me.. haha! bangga! for a normal person it would take you around 1 hour plus to finish up the platelet transplant but for me it only took 40plus minutes to do so. so my blood was like flowing at 70ml per minute whereas kit who did not manage to finish up the process was doing like 35ml per sec to 45ml per sec range. he had weak veins the nurse said. haha! poor fella. well i'll let you all know roughly how does it work. well first of all the machine will extract blood from your vein, 2nd it will filter it and extract the platelet and finally it will pass the blood back to you(this is the part where it hurts a lil).. this cycle will be repeated for 4 cycles to extract a full bag. there is a video taken on how the machine work. enjoy!

the platelet


well before i forget there is a lil something that i wanna share with everyone. well guess what i got 3 jabs on my right hand just to get a sample thanks to the nurse. the sample and donation was done at SJMC. few hours before the donation me and me buddies were discussing what to do. then they mentioned about SJMC having on training nurses. well and they warned me about getting jab more than twice. and yes the usual me said if it was a cute trainie nurse i wouldnt mind getting jab trice but the fact is it was an old indian lady. OHHHHH!!!! NOOOO!!!! what a misery.
