bo kor leng lehz, I heard it's 100 days. medical costs will be damm high if blood need to paymakes no difference, medical bills are alreadi DAMN high.

Mr Fugue SG

last night, the news appealed to public to donate blood.............for FREE (to my astonishment)!!

in other countries, people are paid when they donate blood, FYI!!

while hospitals' bills are as high as prices of dzi beads, why must we give blood for FREE, right ornot?? I propose a min sum of $50 be given for each pack of blood a person donate!! Cool

macjoe SG

Water is not free. Electricity, gas, telecom, transportation same too.
So why should blood be given free to hospitals who make 5-6 figures
from their patient with it? They should pay for it.

Cool

dzylim SG

if we don donate for free. be prepared that oni the rich can get blood in singapore. and in a case when disaster strikes, who will lose out? the poormen.

by donating blood for free, we can ensure that everyone in singapore can have quality medical benefits without burning a hole in out pockets. besides blood donors got priority in the even that they need blood. donating blood should be to save lives not to make money.

Hey. I am wondering...

If ever a person needs treatment from hospital, or even stay in hospital for a night for more observation in the event of donating blood, will he be billed?
I have seen such case, but dont know he got kanna billed or not.

Mr Fugue SG

Mr Fugue SG

nono, we donate blood is a kind act.........

............all kind acts must be rewarded. hence the $50 for the blood is a REWARD. Cool

sbst275 SG

Like this ar? Laughing

ditzy SG

If you ever lost your mobile phone and I found it, and you ask for it back. I'll won't return it to you for anything less than 500 bucks. Its a kind enough act for me to decide to even return it to you so I deserve to be rewarded. Laughing

I think your topic should be changed to: "Hospitals turning into NKF?"

If we need monetary gains to make us donate things, this is really like NKF.

sbst275 SG

The charity drive today, many follow NKF.. Go to TV show... Get students

Mr Fugue SG

good point brought up~!!! Cool

I heard, if you've no $$$ for treatment, the doctor will just leave you along the hospital corridor to die...........

augleo SG

my 1st donate blood exp. is terrible. the medical attendant's handling is bad...aldy inform her i'm the 1st timer but still...1 big green black and the "roughness" treatment i hv encountered...sigh... Crying or Very sad

well, i din stop blood donating after that bad experience but with lesser expectation of the "careful" treatment. Wink

Mr Fugue SG

If I were you, I would have just left that place.........

............what for people treat you like shit and you still donate?? Rolling Eyes
