I went to give blood at the Stanford Blood Center today. It went pretty well. But afterwards, I went to PT&S to get an ES permit for the summer. I was parking at a 20min parking space, so I kinda ran a little bit into the PT&S office. That was such a bad idea. I realized it right away after I got in. I started feeling very very dizzy, disoriented and nausea. I thought it would go away after a while, but it only got a little better when I was sitting down.
I sat on the floor and probably looked quite sick. One lady there asked if I have some friends that I can call, but I can't think of anyone who's on campus and has a car... o_O After a while the lady actually called the fire department, and then the ambulance came.. O_o
Anyway, I was sent to the Stanford ER after that, and was tested for several things, and was there for 3 hours..
Sigh. Giving blood is a nice thing. I think I'll give it another try, but next time I'll definitely make sure I have enough water, and definitely go home and lie down right after giving blood.
Giving blood is supposed to be good (or at least not hurting) our health, but it is very important to remember NOT TO RUN after giving blood. (SIGH!)

All the people at PT&S, from the fire department and the hospital are all very nice!!
Thanks for helping and sorry for using the medical resource on a healthy young person like me. I'll be more careful in the future. :)

I also donated blood today. After about four hours, I worked out (I didn't lift anything too heavy), and I ran a bit because the track team coach was testing me and my teammates. Now its 9pm and I feel like I ran a marathon and didn't stop. I guess donating blood is good, but we shouldn't do it when we will do any form of exercise during the day.
