Blood Donation today

I am a voluntary blood donor donating blood atleast twice a year near my home in Vijaya Hospital. Besides, registering with the blood banks in the city of chennai, I had given my name in a Anjaneya temple in Ashok Nagar sometime back. Got a call from the temple authorities last night at 9 p.m saying that a pregnant lady is URGENT need of my blood group blood and i confirmed to them to be available at the Govt. ESI hospital in K.K.Nagar this morning at 9.

It was a pleasant memorable experience donating for the first time at this place. Firstly a clean and healthy ambience and a very friendly service from the people at the blood bank. Understandably, the recipient's relative was eagerly waiting and thanked me. The whole process was very professional and was done with in <>

Patient's husband ( all of 30 years old) is from a village near chennai and has completed his MS in Computer Science from the local college and is working in a BPO in chennai for the last 5 years for a salary of <>

I offerred to register my name at the Hospital Blood bank too and the point made by the Nurse got me thinking and that was " Sir... we get the regular donors like you coming and donating and we have a method to reach you ... but then sometimes we ask the patient's relatives to go and get new donors because through that the thought of donating blood can reach more people and thereby benefit more ... " She in her own little way is helping increase the donor community ( onetime or regular) ..... Thank you for your selfless service.

I was a happy contended man walking out of the ESI hospital.....
