i used to donate during conscript service, because we got juice, cookies, big cholcolate and a day off which we collected and usually took all out at end of service. to get 4 days off earlier was abig deal for me back then. but after that i kinda forget about the donations, actually i had to do a test when we were waiting for the baby so i could learn my blood type.

should get back to donate

You guys get paid to donate blood? That sort of defeats the purposes of donating, doesn't it?

Free market baby!! The hospitals don't give it away. Why shouldn't you get a cut for producing it?

I thought in the USA it was illegal to get paid to donate red blood cells, as that was considered a form of organ donation, but plasma is OK to get paid for... not true?

My wife said you could donate plasma every three days, whole blood once a week. Whole blood paid more than plasma per donation, but plasma paid more if you went as often as possible. Wife said that plasma ws about $20 a shot, but around the holidays, you could make about a $100 bonus or more. It depended on your frequency, period of years you had donated and if you had brought in refferals. Its a whole damn rackett in itself evidently.
