Give blood for the first time on your own
“Nobody is coming with you to hold the story together, and the needle is exactly as bad as you fear for about four seconds. Then you are lying still doing the plainest useful thing a stranger can do for strangers.”
The Recipe
- Book the next donation session you can reach and are eligible for.
- Eat properly and drink more water than usual before you go.
- Say it is your first time when you arrive, so they talk you through it.
- Lie still for the whole draw, and let the tea and biscuit afterwards be the point.
