I give blood as often as I can, but the last time they were in my town I couldn't as I had been in America in the last four weeks - West Nile virus risk, or something.
While I was in New York and flat broke, I did consider selling my blood for a bit of cash - would this have been a good idea?

My uincle had had the flu about a year ago, treated it like a flu, but he just kept getting worse. Eventually my aunt hauled him to the ER, because he was just looking too bad. He was low-priority, 'cuz it was just the flu, and people kept coming in from semi wrecks and stabbings and whatnot. And they just wait because that's want you do.
My uncle's getting worse, eventually my aunt grabs a nurse, she takes one look at him, and they herd him into a room.
It turns out it was West Nile.
My uncle almost died because my aunt wanted to be polite. |
