ironannekidd - 2011-01-04 11:16 AM While my scans are running I'm browsing the internet, I happened to stumble across this. Bethesda is only an hour from me. I can't think of a good reason why I shouldn't be part of a study.

http://www.cc.nih.gov/blooddonor/donationtypes/hemochromatosis.html

I don't really see what the "study" is...It just sounds like a blood donation program...if they don't use the cells for person-person donation they must use it for research purposes (for ppl who are ineligible for person-person donation for whatever reason, HIV, male-male, etc)...

Sounds cool regardless though! Might as well do it since phlebotomy is your treatment option anyways!

No one else will take my blood. I tried with the Red Cross, and the local blood bank. They wouldn't even take it to throw it away. If Bethesda can take it and give it to someone else, or use it for research I'd rather have that done than have it drawn and thrown out.

I was actually doing a search to see if I could still be an organ donor when I came across that.

Oh...I'm just questioning what the "study" part of it is...are they trying to see if they can purify the RBCs from pts with HC to then transfuse them?

It sounds like a great program regardless though. The Red Cross has tons of restrictions due to historical problems (hep B/C, HIV, etc) so they don't take your blood to avoid hemolytic rxns/infections/other random problems in recipients, etc. I have a gay friend who gets pretty aggravated that he can't donate due to historical president. HC is technically probably fine, but I think they would have to wash the cells...I doubt they would be able to use your plasma though.

I'm not sure what the "study" part of it is either, but it's worth checking out.

I don't have anything planned except for a few quiet hours at home tonight. The kiddos will be out of the house so once I get them fed, check homework, and kick them out of the house, it will be QUIET!!!

I read WHISKED AWAY TO THE HOSPITAL and I almost panicked for a second thinking what happened? I kept on reading to see that you had clinicals.

Sleep on the plane.

No. Not whisked away as in medical emergency, haha. My dad's'friend is picking my brother and I up and taking me straight to school. Then once I get there I have a session. Then my group has to drive me to our first clinical thing and drive me back for our other clinical thing this afternoon. It is unnecessarily complicated thanks to our preceptor who won't just do our clinical at the university today even though we told him about our second session and asked to be at the U. Oh well. That's'how it goes I guess.
