What happens to your blood AFTER you donate? #shorts

What happens to your blood after you donate? I went to the blood processing facility (aka blood factory!) to find out. Red blood cells, platelets, buffy coat, plasma, and more!

Thanks to the Canadian blood services!

Did anyone else have the thought when watching the full video “is this where they came up with the idea to name Buffy Buffy?”

I had a blood transfusion about six years ago, weird to see where it comes from

[Heather]

Wow! How fascinating, thanks for sharing 😊

[LittleLulubee]

Eeew, I get squeamish 😥 But God bless all the donors ❤️🙏

They make transfusion look so simple in the vampire movies!

How come some people get really nauseous when donating blood? I’ve donated twice but I always get super nauseous mid way through and really sweaty

[chrisolson]

I donate both. Blood & plasma. Im O neg & CMV neg as well.

Thanks again for everything you do, Dr. Siobhan! I hope the type of of plastic used to make the bags doesn't contain any phthalates that mimic strogen. There are safe, non toxic types of plastic. By the way I remember having read about serious problems in patients after they had their blood circulating inside a machine that replaces the lungs, but I cannot remember details now. Have a wonderful weekend, your are truly amazing!

Can you discuss blood from folks that got the COVID vaccine. Does the Mnra bad stuff get passed on. Thank you.

Did you know it’s traded as a commodity now? You donate it thinking it will be used for good. Governments and financial institutions profit off of it.

[LyntzbartzkyPerez]

Im not normally squeamish towards blood, but seeing that much in bags is just 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Oh god and then thinking about having blood sucked out of my arm through a tube and into a fucking bag give me goosebumps, idk why, i never get squeamish about blood or losing it but that shit is just 😖😖😖😖

Went to my grandpa funeral had a seizure in the car with my cousins in it one minute seizure because of flashing lights and had an allergic reaction to French frys then it contaminated my sandwich now i cant eat it otherwise my lip swells up like a balloon

[SuperJohnrap]

Why was my comment about blood being traded as a commodity removed? Normal people donate blood out of the kindness of their heart, governments and financial institutions profit from their “donations “
