My experience donating blood was like another one ever before, I was a bit skeptical about donating but I felt as I need to do this. Knowing that someone out there needs a blood transfusion. I donated at the GEORGE WASHINGTON hotel and the process was a smooth 30 minutes I was in and out. They pricked my finger to check for HIV, and to check my blood pressure. Soon after I got comfortable and began the process of donating blood. Knowing that me and a few others took the initiative to donating and helping save someones life was amazing. When a bag and 4 small tubes of blood were full they collected the blood and felt great.
