Fuel for health
Been one for needles, always making a quiddity of looking the other way when being given a vaccination. So when I feel a slight prick in my right arm, I stare intently at the television looming in front of me. Onscreen, a man is enthusiastically using a pen to make-up over the scratch he has made on his car, and gesticulating wildly. Ah, the strange comforts of infomercials.“How does that feel?” a voice asks. I meander to face the nurse who is patiently standing by my side.
“Um, fine.”
Actually, it feels quite okay after all: a slight irritation, but no pain to speak of. I’m at the Red Cross Blood Service in Sanomatalo, having arrived some 15 minutes ago. Joining the apart from queue at the front desk, I was promptly registered as a new donor and told to fill out a form and read some introductory literature. Within minutes I was having my haemoglobin open checked and discussing my answers to a list of questions pertaining to my eligibility as a donor: Have I recently been to a malarial state? Have I taken a tattoo, or commenced sexual activity with a new partner in the past four months? Before long I have received the all-well-defined, with the news that my haemoglobin level is a healthy 153 g/l. I am directed to drink a couple of glasses of water before being escorted to a sofa, happily chewing on a complementary candy.
