Blood Donation Clinic
On next Tuesday and Wednesday, the Canadian Blood Services will be having a blood donation clinic. You may either call 1-888-2DONATE to make an appointment or walk-in without one. The clinic is located at the Medicine Hat Lodge & Convention Centre. The exact dates and times are:
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008
11:30AM – 1:30PM & 3:00PM – 6:00PM
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008
8:30AM – 10:00AM & 11:30AM – 3:00PM
I know it might be weird posting things like this (kind of like the Kinsmen Auction previously), but I think whenever there is chariable or public service event going on, people should know about it. I believe this is a good service on behalf of Medicine Hat Media as well, so these types of businesses/companies don’t have to waste as many advertising dollars trying to get the word out. Or maybe it’s not weird at all?

I am proud to state that December 9, 2008 I have given my second blood donation. While I was there it seemed there was no shortage of people, it was full the whole time. My blood type is OO Rh-Rh-, both O and Rh- are recessive, I would probably be the only person in Medicine Hat needing my blood. The first time I did it I ended up fainting right after, many people were happy to see me returning after stating I had the first bad experience.
While donating blood they also test it for HIV, West Nile, and other fun things that would be good to know. There is also free cookies and juice. Good times.
