Donating Plasma

I used to, until my heart condition made it impossible. It was an average of $70 a week. They would only let you donate twice a week, and never two days in a row. And the wait times could go on for hours, especially for newbies.

How much do you get paid for it?

At my center the first four donations are $50 each, after that it varies between $25-35 depending on how many times you donated that month.

Also yeah only two donations a week/24 hours between minimum.

What sort of heart condition?

>$50 for blood/plasma
>blood sells for $200 a pint

But seriously you're doing a good thing.

You can't actually sell blood, only plasma. Somehow plasma gets around the illegality of selling organs. Also the sale price is including disease testing/paying for technicians who take the donation/processing/fda approval.

I really don't care about the morality of donating though, just need money to spend on frivolous things without being yelled at

How does it feel to donate blood?
Someone I knew passed out and puked after he did it

Felt like nothing at all to me, the needle going in is a bit of a pinch, but I self-inflict more pain when punching my head/biting the inside of my cheek or what have you.

During the donation you really don't feel anything at all, but afterwords they inject saline solution back into you which is a little cold, makes you shiver a little.

I can't imagine passing out/puking unless you hate the sight of blood or needles. Or maybe if you didn't eat a good meal before going in to donate, I didn't even feel bad after donating just a little tender around the needle hole
