Why doesn’t Nanchang City issue gold medals for voluntary blood donation?

A conscientious doctor reveals the secret behind blood donation! ! ! (2009-06-18 10:53:03) Tag: Miscellaneous Talk Category: Miscellaneous Talk

First of all, let me state that this is a repost, everyone must read it patiently! ! !

Recently, the fallacy that voluntary blood donation is not harmful to health has been overwhelming. As an ordinary medical worker, I think I have an obligation to provide a reasonable explanation for this. First, what is blood? The three types of blood cells contained in blood are: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Each component of blood has its special function. Plasma can carry water, salts, nutrients, hormones and drugs to our tissues, and carry away metabolic waste to the lungs and kidneys, where it can be disposed of through breathing and urine. White blood cells are released from the body to help your body fight infection. The main function of platelets is to stop bleeding. When you are injured, they will stick together and plug the holes in the blood vessels, preventing further blood loss.

Red blood cells are the most numerous cells in the blood. They are filled with red hemoglobin, so the blood looks red. As we all know, survival is inseparable from oxygen. The oxygen inhaled by people in the lungs is combined with hemoglobin and transported to various tissues throughout the body to complete cell metabolism. The lifespan of red blood cells is only 120 days, and they are destroyed in the spleen. All blood cells are differentiated from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. This can clearly see how important blood is to the body, so why is donating blood harmful to the body? Because donating blood will cause the above blood functions to be weakened or even lost. To put it simply: the reduction of red blood cells will cause various organs in the body to not receive enough oxygen, and the various life functions of the cells cannot be performed. The dizziness caused after donating blood is because the brain does not receive enough oxygen supply, and when carbon monoxide poisoning occurs, The phenomenon is a truth.

The decrease in white blood cells will reduce the body's ability to resist viruses and make it easier to get sick. This is the reason why the body becomes weak after donating blood. The decrease in immunity will allow viruses such as colds to take advantage of them. By the way, let me tell you that another name for the famous AIDS is "Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome". The lack of platelets will make it difficult for wounds to heal and cause bleeding. Of course, no one will be unlucky enough to get injured after donating blood. By the way, I would like to tell you that one of the most serious consequences of leukemia is thrombocytopenia (older people should have watched "Blood Doubt", right?) Someone said: I, what you said is wrong, everyone said that donating blood After bleeding, the body will produce enough blood to replenish it. I just said that "all blood cells are differentiated from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow."

Hematopoietic stem cells have a lifespan in all conscience. In other words: the hematopoietic function of hematopoietic stem cells is not unlimited. . There is a very simple example: the bone marrow hematopoietic function of most elderly people is only 50% of that of young people. Due to the decrease in hematopoietic function, anemia is prone to occur and is difficult to recover. So I think hematopoietic stem cells are consumables and cannot be recovered! Someone else said: The book says that the blood volume will be replenished 2 weeks after donating blood. Yes, you are right, but please note: What is the supplement? As far as I know, the body should replenish plasma within 2 weeks. Plasma and blood are two different concepts. The components of plasma include: water (91%), protein (7%), lipids (1%), sugars (0.1%), inorganic salts (0.9%), and metabolites. . . Did you see that the hook is peeled off?] ] ] Here is a simple example: you will feel thirsty after donating blood because you need to replenish plasma. The blood station will provide sugar water or milk for free. This is why, I understand. Bar? Others said: I know everything you said, but for the happiness of the majority of patients, I will sacrifice. OK! You are great and I admire you. However, when you don’t donate blood for free, will the patient have no blood to transfuse? Of course this is not the case. I may have been working in the hospital longer than you. I have to tell you: it is precisely because of the enthusiasm of unpaid blood donors that patients bear higher blood costs. Because of the huge profits from blood, go- Vern-ment has a monopoly on blood collection channels. When there were no blood stations, the price of blood was 70 yuan per 200mm. The current price is about 200 yuan per 200mm.

In the past, blood donors had to be paid corresponding financial compensation, but now blood donation is free of charge, and no financial compensation is paid to blood donors. In our hospital, the blood purchased from the blood station is really gold and silver. It doesn’t matter if we pay a penny less. These costs can only be passed on to the patients. In fact, we have nothing to do. And due to the large number of unpaid blood donors, farmers and laid-off workers who used to sell blood to support the poor have now lost another way to make money. What a sin! Someone said: Aren’t voluntary blood donors able to use blood for free? Yes, first go to the hospital to pay for the blood, then go to the hospital office to issue a certificate, then find the doctor to sign it, take your ID card, medical record, surgery notice, and voluntary blood donation certificate, then go to the health bureau to get a stamp, and then Go to the blood station to apply for a refund, and pray that the person in charge will be there, and some places even stipulate that the patient must come in person to handle the refund! I saw many patients, but finally gave up going to the blood bank to refund the blood fee, thinking that I was out of luck. Others say: Donating blood can at least get free examinations. My person in charge told you that the blood bank only does the most routine blood and hepatitis B tests. There is even a report, but I have not verified it. Please take a look.

Does voluntary blood donation require no physical examination? 2004.08.24 Dazhong.com - Dazhong Daily Why don’t you have a physical examination before donating blood? Recently, the author participated in a voluntary blood donation. The staff of the blood station began the busy work of drawing blood without conducting a substantial physical examination on the voluntary blood donor. Faced with many people’s questions, blood station staff explained: Since the implementation of the Blood Donation Law, there have been no physical examinations, and this is the case across the country. Finally, what is the blood bank’s attitude towards free blood? It’s hard to say this. Anyway, hundreds of thousands of CC were dumped in Chengdu, and some blood was sold to pharmaceutical factories as raw materials. Basically, if there was any problem, it was dumped in batches. This kind of thing has not been exposed in every city. The people at the blood bank are basically all veterans of the military or people who are idle in society. Those who have graduated from medical schools are rare. The benefits are surprisingly good, with tens of thousands of bonuses at the end of the year. Each of those blood collection vehicles costs millions. Believe it or not. Finally, have you ever seen a doctor who regularly donates blood for free? The annual salary of ordinary blood bank employees is 250,000 yuan. This sounds a bit unbelievable and makes people doubt its authenticity. However, if this is the case, what should people think? Judging from the feedback posted by netizens, the reason why blood bank employees can receive high salaries is because the blood bank occupies public resources of free blood sources and uses monopolized public resources to do business without capital. The public donates blood free of charge, and blood stations charge hospitals to supply blood. Although there are certainly costs in the blood collection process, the price is not as high as the price of selling blood to hospitals, which brings huge income to the blood stations. It is understood that the current standard blood price for blood in Guangzhou hospitals is: 220 yuan per 200 ml of whole blood, and an additional packaging fee of 20 yuan per bag of 50 or 100 ml small-dose whole blood; other rare blood types of whole blood are 200 yuan per 200 ml. 660 yuan. How much money the blood bank can make from this, only God knows. Some netizens posted to expose the intrigues during the period. One netizen said, "I heard from my aunt (a staff member of a blood station in Hunan) that it is stipulated to draw 200 ml of blood. The blood station will draw 250 ml privately and withhold 50 ml for underground transactions. For this alone, the blood station will Each person can receive tens of thousands of yuan every year."

What Baidu netizens said is even more interesting: "Free blood donation is a good thing, but it has been ruined by those shady hospitals. The blood we donated to them for free was sold at a high price, ~~~ I went to donate twice, and each time I told them that I would donate 200CC, but when they saw my Rh-negative blood, they took 400CC from me. I thought it was just a contribution to society, but their attitude was so honest. It’s too shameful to compliment me. I dare to give my blood to them. From now on, I won’t donate even to death. It’s too dark~~~” This may be why blood banks have become a hugely profitable industry. "The annual salary of an average blood station employee in a city in the Pearl River Delta is 250,000 yuan" may be an isolated phenomenon, but the high salary in the entire blood station industry is not unfounded. The existence of this phenomenon is a wanton waste of social love and conscience, because the public's free blood donation is giving love to the society. All people who donate blood regard blood donation as fulfilling their social responsibilities, and hope that they can Use your own blood to save the lives of others, never expecting anything in return. However, blood banks regard this source of free blood as a tool to make money and a source of income for high salaries and benefits. The existence of this phenomenon is also a blatant challenge to social fairness and justice. Because this practice of using the monopoly of public resources to make money has created new upstarts and further widened the gap in social distribution. Blood station, are you an ambassador of love or a vampire? Using free blood as a tool to make money is definitely a social scandal. It is an absolute disgrace to the country and nation. It's definitely a blow to the public's love action.

If this ugly phenomenon is allowed to exist, then people's love is like being eaten by dogs. My friend, will you still donate blood willingly in the future?
