Blood Drive in Seattle.......2 months after the last one in Durham

This time is the 2nd blood drive in US…….

As same as the 1st time, feeling dizzy repeatedly for a couple of days after the blood drive…
The amount of blood that is taken per one drive in US is 1 pint.
In Japan, it's 400 ml………..but in US, it's 473 ml (=1 pint)……
1 pint might be too much for Japanese?.............or, was it because I took beer in the dinner after the blood drive?
Anyway, the beer was soooooo good!

Nonetheless, 3 people will be saved per one blood drive.
It will also used for hospitalization of leukemia.
I asked one of nurses….."How can I become a bone marrow donor?"………..

First of all, just visit a donation center nearby.
No appointment is needed.
And then, my saliva will be collected.
That is the first step……………………..

And if it's matching with something (I do not know exactly what it is) of a patient, I will be informed and asked to come.
Then, my blood will be collected for some inspection to check the availability to donate my bone marrow……………….

Other than blood drive and/or marrow donor registration, we have a lots of opportunity to help people.
For example, volunteer to help the reception desk for blood drive, volunteer to take a role to monitor donors' condition for 10 or 15 min. after blood drive, … etc.

And also, we can donate the specific blood component from our blood.
This method is different from normal blood drive and it enables to collect 6 times blood platelet more than normal blood drive….

We have unlimited way to help people. ………. It could be sending Encouragement, could be another action….

One thing that is pointed out recently as a mistake in the history of medical science is that disease has been viewed only as a physical matter….
Physical body can not be separated from mental or spiritual world…...Such a ordinary matter has not been focused in the medical science for long time.

Even if I do not have a license of doctor, even if I have never majored in medical science, I have something to do for people. Everything is started from 'Action'.
No need to have any fear….. Action taken one by one and step by step will change the world even if each action looks too small to change.
