can i take out my own blood instead of donating it?

What size needles would I use?

When you donate whole blood they usually use an 18 gauge.

Fuck haha yeah but how much blood do I take out? I don't understand why guys won't do this on there own if they got high hemo

Lol, I usally just use needles I find under the bridge where the hobo hangout and my moms measuring cups.

I couldn't resist

You know they don't charge anything when you donate blood. It's sterile, free and you get free juice and cookies... Why wouldnt you?

What is your hematocrit at?

Allow me to paint a scenario. Lets say you stick yourself and you're draining blood. Let's say for no reason related what so ever you pass out... Then what? Sorry bro, this does not sound like a great idea.

In my county at least you have the option to tell them not to use your blood within 24 hours at the blood banks. Just say you came down with the flu.

Donating blood is free! Something about jamming an 18 gauge needle into a vein in my arm kinda irks me. You see how fast that vial fills up at the docs office?! You won't have a vial, so your gonna have to pin the vein free-air, so I imagine your gonna do this outside like naked right... so blood doesn't get all over your cloths.

Imagine if your neighbors see you.

" Yeah that's just my next door neighbor draining his blood. IDK why he's naked but hey that's his business not mine."

Lol really though I do understand the problem here, to me its a moral issue. A blood drive works on donations a lot of times. Even if the money isn't donated its still being spent by someone. You willingly donating dirty blood is almost like stealing.

OK but what if they reject you for having high hemo than what do I do? Is getting ur blood checked the same as donation talking about amount of blood they take out of course
