Blood: it's in you to give. Maybe.

In complete opposition to my own blood donating story (in which the only point of interest was finding out what blood type I am), vestra went to donate blood and ended up in the emergency room! Talk about New Year's Resolutions gone bad. I hope that eating more fruits and veggies doesn't turn out quite this dramatically.

(My side of the story: I got a phone call from the blood services nurse saying that they'd called an ambulance to take her to emergency, and I thought that was a bit of an overreaction, because she said "your friend was feeling a little faint", not "your friend passed out twice in Indigo". True facts make for much better reactions. Also, emergency waiting rooms are a little scary when you're not too sick to notice that everyone around you is vilely ill.)

"A little faint" is probably part of the Secret Medical Code that brought us "slight discomfort".
