So recently I moved to a new place and due to the location of my new home I have to take a road to work that happens to have a biolife on it. (plasma donation center) today I decided that I am going to donate plasma becuase I always give blood and have no problem with needles but it turns out I'm greedy too so I might aswell get money for my trouble.

So here is where I need you help.... Is it sick that I want to give plasma so I can have an extra $200 a month to spend on my car cause thats where the extra money will probably go.

 

Nah man not a problem at all. A buddy of mine does pharmacutical/drug product testing and what not twice a year and make $2500+ for like 2 weeks of his time. When done he turns right around and puts the $$ into his car LOL

 

No, I'm doing the same thing lol. It's handy to have an extra 200 dollars lying around.

 

HAHAHAHA, I thought the SAME thing when I saw a commercial for a DCI Biologicals place here in town. But I think its gona be kinda a scam, $170 a month, but you can donate plasma like twice a week, so you'd have to donate 8 times a month. Thats gona take alot of time, but it is $170 or $200 in your case. I'm gona try and start doing it. I used to organize the blood drives at my highschool and haven't donated blood since graduating and I feel guilty.

 

money for blood.... i don't need blood right? =)

 

I used to give blood when they paid you 20 bucks for a pint every 6 weeks.

If you have O type blood I think you should give whenever you can. O type can be used for any other type, ( please correct me if I'm wrong). I've never given plasma though. That's when they give your blood back? and just take the good stuff? Anyway I'm not qualified to donate blood anymore. Health problems will eliminate you from the process..

 

I'm type O+, universal donor. Type AB is universal acceptor. And plasma is the fluid the red blood cells "float" in. Lesson over, lol. At the college every tuesday we have two huge blood donation trucks come and try to get people to donate. It never fails that I will be walking by and a lady come out and ask me to donate. The bad part is I never can, I'm busy and was always walking to Chemistry lab when they asked. I felt bad becuase I'm sure they heard all kinds of fake excuses all day.

 

Go for it man. My old roommate used to donate plasma downtown to help pay rent. If I didn't hate needles so much I'd probably man up and do it.

 

As far back as I remember, this has been going on. Its legal and helps saves lives. Go for it...

 

i donated plasma during the school year. the money helps you out and your plasma helps people. sounds like a fair trade to me? and think of it this way, if you don't do it, someone else will.

 

Be careful...If they are paying you then they are making money and there is the possibility that they are not as clean as a hospital would be.
