I went after two years to donate blood again. The very first time I had no issues/ complications so there wasn‘t any reason for me to be concerned. I went to the first doctor, which told me my RR was 123/74, so everything was fine and I was ready to donate 500mls.
After I was done I looked at my sister but realised that I am slowly starting to see black and faint. I only saw her running around and looking for a doctor to help me. For me it felt like I was just closing my eyes for a second, hearing music in my head(idk there was literally no music around me) but later waking up panicking and seeing 2 doctors and 3 nurses over my head and my blood running down my arm, because the needle fell out or something. They were all holding up my legs and asking me a gazillion questions to see if Im back to my senses. They gave me some medicine and told me to lay there and not move, and while I felt better for a bit, my RR dropped to 90/60 and later fainted again. They gave me an infusion and it hurt sooo bad, but told me to just power through it and keep still.
I thought at least after all of that they still had my donated blood, but it turned out that they forgot to do a very important step to keep the blood sterile and had to throw away the whole batch… :/
TL;DR: I went to donate blood, but fainted and the blood was later unusable.
