Few days before, kat berita ada keluar "Bekalan darah negara berkurangan. Setiap hospital memerlukan 400 penderma darah SETIAP HARI! " SETIAP HARI okay! And this will be my second donation. First experience was at Johor. Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan. Sebabkan rasa macam tak sakit sangat masa tu, rasa confident la ajak mama.
" Ma... ahad ni bawak adik pergi Pusat Darah Negara tu.."
" Nak buat apa? "
" Dah nama pun Pusat Darah Negara, derma darah lerrr"
" Hmm.. okay."
Sesampainya di PDN, tak ramai. Register sebab first time derma kat PDN. Settle registration, check up sikit ( check blood group *saya darah 'O', timbang berat *berat yang menaik, and BP *low blood pressure )
Number 1073.
Apabila number dipanggil, maka masuklah ke dalam bilik menderma...
Before dicucuk. Sejuk kau!
Dulu-dulu masa kecil kita tertanya-tanya sakit ke? My answer was not pain at all. Sakit time inject bius je. Rasa macam kena injection time standard 1 tu. haha. Then bila dah cucuk jarum transfusion tu pun tak rasa la, just ngilu-ngilu ayam je. Tapi sakit bila menengok jarum tu. Nampak tak gedik dia? haha.
*Darah yang malu-malu kelawar nak keluar. Gila lembab! -.-
Kenapa lembab? Sebab vein kita kecik sangat. So nurse tu pun tarik jarum tu, godek-godek sikit. Bila dah godek-godek jarum tu baru la terasa lenguh. Masa first time donate tu dorang tak pulak sentuh jarum tu. Just suruh pump kuat sikit je. Entah la.. I donated 350 ml je. :)
Dah settle with 350 ml, rest-rest sat.. Sebab kalau terus bangun boleh pening. And tak tau pulak PDN bagi makan free for refreshment. Milo panas, Mi goreng, Karipap, Apam, Apple and ubat.. ubat? Folic acid and Ferrous Fumarate. Folic acid untuk tambah darah. While Ferrous Fumarate? haha, tak tau.. serious tak tau. Dulu kerja pharmacy Miss Tan belajar supplements je. Glucosamine, various type of Vit, Ginkgo, Milk thistle etc.. And some basic medicine.
Hasil google about Ferrous Fumurate. " This medicine is used to treat and prevent iron deficiency anaemia. It belongs to a group of medicines called iron supplements. This medicine contains the iron salt, ferrous fumarate which helps restore iron levels in the body when levels are low."
Ohhhhhh.. new info! haha.
What are the benefits of blood donation?
1- Reduce risk of heart disease.
2- One can diet or remain fit by donating blood regularly. One pint of blood burns 650 calories in donor's body.
3- Stimulates the production of new blood cells and refreshes the system.
4- Giving the wonderful feeling of saving someone's life. This is what I felt now.
So, I highly encourage you to donate your blood and save life. :) Kepada yang nak kurus tu, it's proved that it burns calories.
BE A HERO, GIVE BLOOD!
