Good question. My assumption was that 1 donor gives 1 unit, too much more than that and they might become anaemic. Ha ha.

Before I became ill, I tried to donate blood but they wouldn't take it because I was anaemic. That was the first time I knew that I had anaemia and I didn't think much about it.

Maybe 1 unit of blood is made up from different donors, but I think they wouldn't like to do that in case they find a disease in the blood and then they have more trouble tracking down the donor. Just a thought.

I have to go to a work meeting now. They want me to retire on my income protection insurance. They are afraid that I might faint and hurt myself at work and then they would be liable. I want to keep working for as long as I can and I resent my employer for putting me through this stress simply to protect themselves "on the off chance" that I faint. I have worked for the same employer for over 22 years and have never made a claim on work insurance. They want loyalty from their employees but lack any form of loyalty TO their employees.


wish me luck.
