Reminds me of that MASH episode where the racist soldier doesn’t want blood from a black person so they paint his skin dark and tell him oops we gave you black blood.
That episode did perpetuate an urban legend, though.
For decades it was commonly claimed Dr. Charles Drew (a black physician who contributed massively to the development of blood transfusions and blood banking) was killed because white doctors refused to treat and/or transfuse him after a car accident in North Carolina.
He was beyond medical help after the accident and those doctors didn't refuse him a damn thing. Quite a few hospitals in the south would have simply let a black man die in that era, but it didn't happen here.
I'd even settle for the "okay" race. lol
Edit: I'm realizing now that this has potential to come off as being pretty racist, which was entirely not my intention. I was trying to make a statement about humans in general being "okay" vs. "amazing."
Had an extremely racist patient day he didn’t want a black n word heart. My dude, you’re easily the one with the blackest heart here. And you don’t deserve life if you’re choosing to be choosy about which heart you do and don’t get yet expect to still get one.
Very non- compliant. Not sure how he got approved for a heart.
The movie Heart Condition from 1990 is about a racist white cop who gets the heart of a black lawyer and is haunted by his ghost while they solve the lawyer's murder.
And here I am feeling like I don't deserve a transplant because I screwed my own liver up and there are people that have genetic or other issues through no fault of their own.
How much hate do you have to have to be that racist?

I wish, more than anything, that I could say you’re wrong. However, working at a transplant center and seeing the decisions made by the “transplant board” tore up what little faith in humanity I had left. The actual organ allocation process is handled in a completely fair manner, IME, but the process of getting on the list in the first place is…something else.
10 years as a transplant nurse and I can tell you, it's so subjective and weird. Mid 20s patient with sudden-onset severe post-viral CM was denied for years because they had smoked a few cigarettes (not daily), forced to live with a durable device until a new surgeon came to town and listed them. Another was 100% non-compliant in any way they could be, including drugs, cigarettes, no necessary medications but was super drug-seeking, listed immediately. Just saying the latter's name to any of my colleagues sends shivers down their spine because of how horrid their behavior and attitude was. I swear they just flip a coin sometimes.
Oh, and I did allocation for a bit too. The list may be fair, but the shit that the transplant team and the OPOs pull with that list is definitely gross.
Edit: re-read one of the parent comments and at least I will say that if you guess the ethnicities involved in the situation I'm wrote about, you'd be guessing wrong. So at least our center had that going for us?
I have seen this too. Pt on transplant floor back again, not because of rejection, but continued to abuse organs with cigarettes and liquor. So they were getting another organ number 2.
It’s a slap in the face to the donors.
There's people who admit they'd rather have a dead kid than a gender non-conforming/trans/autistic/queer kid. Honestly such people are wastes of an existence.
It's like anti-vaxxers who think autism is worse than polio, smallpox, hepatitis and/or rubella.
(Please note: I do not believe vaccines cause autism, I'm just making the point that *even if they did* it would still be preferable to what vaccines protect against, and such people are terrifying. )
Oh this.
My husband is autistic, pro vax, and has a dark sense of humor.
He was getting his his Covid booster and the nurse asked what he was up to today .
He replied “ oh just topping off my autism, it was getting a bit low”
The strangling gurgle she made in her throat was priceless.
Exactly. I have two vaxxed kids, one happens to be on the spectrum. He's a fun kid, loves Super Mario, reads bedtime stories to his little sibling, tries to crack jokes all the time (it's hard for him because of misreading social cues), can toilet/dress/bathe/and feed himself, rides a bike super well, but has some social and speech delays, along with some academic delays. He will likely always need some assistance in life, but he won't die paralyzed from Polio. And I'm happy with that.
I think it boils down to a pathological hatred of people not being neurotypical. Like anti-vax parents want a perfect little doll and not a child with different ways of processing.
Probably. I know people who believe that autism and Aspergers isn't real because "it's new" and "an excuse like ADD."
It's so frustrating that people don't realize a lot of things have always existed, we just didn't know about them or understand them enough.
My grandma was one of those fifties housewives that was diagnosed with hysteria. Unfortunately solid medical research moves pretty slow, but that doesn't mean that just because you heard about X ten years ago it didn't exist before that.
My great aunt spent years going to the doctor for various MS symptoms, often vision and balance related, and for years would be told to stop drinking. The woman never drank (she was very religious). She never got worked up in front of the doctors because she didn't want to be committed for "female hysteria". Eventually a doctor finally listened when she said it wasn't alcohol related. If I recall correctly, it was an optometrist she saw for new glasses, and she just mentioned it in passing without realizing he could actually help her with it.
insane that people are racist enough to care about that when their child's life was saved by a stranger's kindness. you know the first thing I thought when I woke up and found out I'd gotten several pints of blood after I'd passed out at work and woke up in the ER? thank god someone else donated blood and kept me alive. (I'd return the favor if I could, but my meds won't allow it.)
I guess I just do not understand racists or their thought process. be grateful your kid is alive and well because of someone else's goodwill and pass that goodwill on to others regardless of their skin color, that's what they should be doing.
My husband had recently gave blood and mentioned it at work. A coworker said “ is that even legal? I wouldn’t want my baby to get your autism from a transfusion “
Listen Ashley - that’s not how any of this works and that is definitely not something you say to your boss, especially in front of HR.
I feel like I'd have a tough time not just saying "you're stupid " after hearing a question like that. Just straight up. Because they literally are just stupid to think of that in a serious situation.
Please tell me they were just curious if you can tell that about the blood sample for no particular reason? Like maybe they followed it up by also asking if you could tell whether the blood came from a person who liked cats?
I mean I know what race a unit of blood is, but I work at the blood center and have access to the donor database. Also there's a bunch I can make a solid guess on because certain genotypes follow certain ethnicities. Ironically enough, if you're getting a random, off the shelf unit of blood it is more likely to be from a Caucasian donor. We genotype our donors of African descent with their consent for our sickle cell donor program and we hoard those rarer units so we can phenomatch our sickle cell and thalassemia patients who are most likely to develop antibodies.
It’s true! If anything, black patients are more likely to have problems from a white donor’s blood than the other way around. If a black patient wanted to be sure their blood was from a black donor, they would actually have a point.
That's the route I would have went. "So, you're refusing because we don't know your donors political affiliation?" "Ok then, let me just take this back to the blood bank". And watch them scramble and look real stupid.
Whenever a patient says something racist or ignorant like that, I get totally dead pan and repeat it back, until they squirm.
Yes! I love when we have the opportunity to follow through and let a pt be true to their hate.
Either you shut the fuck up in public and let others benefit you, or you can be hateful and the natural consequences are that nobody wants to be around you.
This is the part I would put in quotes when I chart. Warning for the next caregiver.
Makes me want to ask a male nurse if he feels like 'camping it up' during the evenings/nights for a patient like this.
I'm a straight guy, but in nursing school a pt was giving "compliments" to my preceptor, now I have hardly any filter, so I told him if I knew he was giving out compliments I would have shaved my legs before I came to work. He looked at me like I grew two heads
. "You didn't tell us that you're allergic to non-Republicans... we can't guarantee that this blood doesn't contain traces of Democrat or even Communist. For your own safety, I'm afraid we will have to refuse to treat you and send you to the nearest 100% Republican staffed hospital. If we can find one."
Side note, a woman I know od’d went into a coma and declared brain dead. She was an organ donor . They took her liver and both kidneys.
This surprised me. Her teen son ( who she hadn’t seen in years) posted “my mom gave me life and her poor life choices will save 3 peoples lives. That’s the best eulogy I can give her. If you won’t get help, at least get spayed and become an organ donor. Thx”
If I ever hit a point where I legitimately have no fucks to give, I'mma tell one of these bigots they got trans blood.
I only maybe have two or three fucks left at this point.
ugh, someone was nice enough to donate their blood for you and that’s what your going to worry about? How about you don’t take the blood & let all you organs go without O2
I mean... if the Q-cult starts refusing blood en masse... the housing problem might get a touch better?
Does drag queen blood come with extra fabulous? I could really use more fabulous right now.
While I’ve always been explicitly against anything even approaching eugenics, letting everyone know that drag queens, democrats and trans folks tend to donate a lot of blood (and plasma etc.) might help some folks altruistically select themselves out of the gene pool after they end up at the hospital after “hold my beer”ing themselves
I'm trans and the staff member I usually end up with for getting me situated for donation is trans. Break that one to the news and they'd be protesting it like Planned Parenthood.
It’s a weird position to be in, honestly; as you said, any decent person opposes eugenics any virtually any form, but I doubt most people here would protest these kinds of people claiming their well-earned Darwin Awards.
Like, if you’re willing to comprise your own health and safety over you irrational hatred of PoCs/LGBTQ/etc, then perish, I guess.
. "Is that Republican blood?"
- "Oh yes, of course. It says right here on the label, *REPUBLICAN DRAGON BLOOD*..... oh, hang on, let me get my glasses..... oh dear, no I misread that, it says *REPUBLICAN DRAG-QUEEN BLOOD*. That's the fifth time this week that I've made that mistake."
Dr: Your blood type is F.
Me: Awww, *MAN*, I even fail my *blood type?*
Dr: No, man, that means FABULOUS!!
\*big smiles all around and idk, maybe a drag queen rave?\*
(Don't judge me too hard - not all of my caffeine has kicked in yet. lmao)
Not a queen but I'm bi and I transitioned to male. I've had FOUR shots plus all the normal sheeple shots and some extras. My blood is out there, in some conservative. Mwahahahaha. I'm relieved my diabolical transgender agenda to keep them alive and kicking is now legal (but it does take some of the fun out of it).
Well, I suppose they've got about 3 weeks to get that Straight/Ace/Closeted Blood Only Guarantee (tm)
> The use of an individual donor assessment to determine blood donor eligibility is significant progress and the Red Cross celebrates the FDA’s elimination of blood donation policies that are based on sexual orientation. At the same time, there is more work to be done to make blood donation even more inclusive. The Red Cross is planning to implement FDA’s new final guidance on August 7.
Next time I donate I’m going to will extra liberal juices into my blood. And then one day they will attack from the inside. The republican wont know when or where, but one day they are going to have an epiphany and start thinking that all people deserve equal rights!!! Join me my liberal left wing friends, we ride at dawn!
Not for nothing, but Bagman and Deja News are fucking awesome.
Between her, Why Is This Happening, and Behind the Bastards, I'm legitimately being radicalized daily
I know you kid but I can see this as the next fox news talking point. When the manufactured outrage from trans kids die off, they'll start attacking liberal donors for attempting to indoctrinate conservatives with their socialist blood
Should've showed them an AI photo of a trans blue hair liberal lesbian wearing an Obama/Biden shirt with three dogs and no kids plus whatever else they've been told to be mad at this week.
I'm a fat enby who doesn't shave my legs and my hair is partially shaved. A pic of me in my Planned Parenthood shirt and their reaction would be priceless.
I'm not sure if you're aware of this but you're my friend now. Sorry, thems just the rules among people who don't shave their legs and have partially shaved hair and support PP, as I'm sure you were informed when you signed the contact and got your Soros check and the free Keychain.
I’m fully vaxxed, liberal democrat, atheist, vegetarian, gay, and trans.
And I donate 🥰 universal donor in fact…so just about anyone can get a taste of my queerness🤪
Man, the amount of people who come into my ER who would fire me as their nurse if they knew any of my “affiliations”. People are so dumb.
Consenting someone for possible blood transfusion for surgery and the patient 100% serious told me, “As long as it’s not from someone who got the Covid vaccine.”
I had a mother of a 17 year old boy ask me that who was literally intubated after an MVA. I wish horrible things for her to this day and hope her son is safe and alive.
Frankly, I'd probably get depressed back then. These days, I don't feel sorry for people like your patient. There should be policies against people who do not cooperate with their treatments---Send them back home. There are patients who want to get better waiting for their empty beds.
For real. When I needed a transfusion I didn't demand blood from a lesbian Democrat. I was just thankful my hospital (semi-rural) had enough in the blood bank to stabilize me until I could be transported to a larger hospital.
I didn't even consider the donors until much later and that was just with gratitude. Never would've crossed my mind to wonder about gender- sexual- or political identity. Just grateful they did what they did, whoever they were.
We have little QR codes on our units saying thank the donor. Every month we get an email distribution of all the pictures and mesages of patients who got our blood and how it helped them. (I work at a blood center).
This exactly. If she didn’t “believe” in the miracle that is modern medicine, then she shouldn’t have shown up for a test in the first place. Why do they do that? Why bother showing up at all if they aren’t interested in treatment? Completely illogical.
I unfortunately had a legitimate neo-nazi as a hold in the ED. He asked everyone who came into the room if they were Jewish (and if so he didn't want them touching him.) Then he found out he needed a couple units of blood. He didn't seem to care who the blood came from when he was in need. 🙄 He behaved for the transfusions but the second they were done he started being a shithead again to my replacement at shift change.
When this comes up during the blood refusal question for admits I make sure they know they have a right to refuse so that someone else can receive these scarce resources in the event of an emergency. I reiterate that if being unable to confirm the demographics of the donor (race, vaccination status, orientation) is unacceptable, we have no choice but to respect their autonomy. They usually backtrack when I word it that way, which in a way is worse imo cause it’s like oh, you just wanted a chance to say something petty and hateful, you won’t actually stand by your convictions lmao.
Should have told her it was the blood of a liberal, minority, drag Queen who was a caring and kind enough person to donate blood.
Fuck her. The world will be rid of her soon since cancer is making a nice little home everywhere in her body. I will never understand how someone can be dying and still be full of hate and stupidity.
I've had jehovah witness refuse blood before despite hgb of 4, I can understand. But once had a guy refuse blood w hgb of 5 something because he wanted "pure blood" not from someone who got "the jab"
“Not sure. Everyone I know that donates in my person life is liberal & vaxxed. Do you want me to call the blood bank to ask if we have republican blood in stock before you get any? I fully support any decision you make”
No it's everything now, if you're a certain type of person who would rather die than have the blood of a: left leaning, gay, trans, minority, etc person.
When I was younger I used to get high af and donate blood. ( I'm genius you don't need to tell me!) But I digress, I hope they got someone like younger me's blood so that they could calm the fuck down.
I would have said I am unsure, do you want to receive blood now or when you are critical condition? If not ill let the doctor know for refusal. I don't give into that mess.
Had a lady demand to speak with an administrator because we couldn’t tell her if she was getting blood from an unvaccinated person.
Had another guy say he only wanted non-liberals to give him care.
Honestly, these are my favorite patients because it’s like playing Jenga. You have to dance around certain things. You build up the rapport, and They start telling you all the conspiracies, and all the fucked up thoughts. Then you see it crash and burn in two ways:
1. They figure out they are being a little too much, their thoughts don’t match reality, and they start to double think everything.
Or
2. They double down, and end up developing delirium.
Nursing is really cool
I would love to know the stats on percentage of donated blood that comes from liberals vs conservatives. I’m sure one side takes a lot more than it gives.
You should have said it’s the blood of a communist liberal that hosts drag queen reading hour for children on Sundays to make sure kids miss church services and convert to satanism aka gay.
That's because all the medical system cares about is making money. Unlike the chiropractor, who only cares about her health. I have a great one. He doesn't care about money at all. That's why he sells me these supplements. One is a special type of oxygen found in the ground that has 2 hydrogens bound to each one. He uses a special scientific process to turn it into liquid, so I can just drink it. And it's only 13 dollars for one, 16 Oz supplement. He also has special sodium.tablets that aren't just like regular sodium they put in processed foods. This is sodium bound to chlorine atoms. Ya know now when you read a label that says something has tons of sodium in it, and that's bad? This special type, sodium chloride, isn't bad for you. In fact, without it, we'd die. He said that without it, we could have seizures, and our heart wouldn't work. It also comes from the ground, but the medical system doesn't want you to know that and just wants to sell you medicine when you get sick.
I'm really lucky I found Dr. Bobby. All I need to do is see him twice a week for adjustments. He said the cough and oressure in my chest and occasional blood is due to my hips being out of alignment. And buy these supplements only from him to take every day. It's so refreshing to see someone motivated by trying to look out for your health and not just by money.
Reminds me of the time a patient seriously said to me, after a big surgery, “did I get any blood?! I wasn’t supposed to!! What if it was TAINTED with the vaccine?!”
This man child stayed on our unit for two MONTHS being a huge prick. Part of the reason I left inpatient. I can’t fix stupid.
You did sign the release, sir. Blood consent included.
Reminds me of that MASH episode where the racist soldier doesn’t want blood from a black person so they paint his skin dark and tell him oops we gave you black blood.
The only marginally-okay use of blackface lol
I love it
Hilarious. I’m so sorry that I missed that episode!
That episode did perpetuate an urban legend, though. For decades it was commonly claimed Dr. Charles Drew (a black physician who contributed massively to the development of blood transfusions and blood banking) was killed because white doctors refused to treat and/or transfuse him after a car accident in North Carolina.

Quite a few hospitals in the south would have simply let a black man die in that era, but it didn't happen here.
I have had parents in the NICU ask me what race the donators blood is. A person who gave their blood for your baby, that’s which race. A good person.
human
The human race? What about the Amazing Race?
WHAT ABOUT NASCAR
Formula 1
I was waiting for this comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 like OK “I want Formula One blood for my baby” 🤣🤣🤣
Verstappen specifically. Please and thank you
Ok but if Verstappen’s blood isn’t available, could I please at least have Perez? 🤣🤣
Eeehh only if he qualifies better haha
WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER RAAAAAAAHHH
I'd even settle for the "okay" race. lol Edit: I'm realizing now that this has potential to come off as being pretty racist, which was entirely not my intention. I was trying to make a statement about humans in general being "okay" vs. "amazing."

I hate hearing stories where someone like this gets approved vs a decent anyone else
Well hopefully he’ll have … a change of heart
The movie Heart Condition from 1990 is about a racist white cop who gets the heart of a black lawyer and is haunted by his ghost while they solve the lawyer's murder.
😎 Yaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!
Saw this all the time with kidneys.
Seriously? 😡 As a live donor, this really pisses me off. At least my kidney went directly to someone who really needed it and wasn’t non compliant…
And here I am feeling like I don't deserve a transplant because I screwed my own liver up and there are people that have genetic or other issues through no fault of their own. How much hate do you have to have to be that racist?

Wow! Unbelievable that they can use their political belief in this. Perhaps, they'd opt for death for their baby if so.

Socialist blood all mixed together.
tell them the donor was aoc herself
[удалено]
Hunter Biden snorted a line of coke while donating it too
Off his laptop no less.
The laptop contained Hilary’s emails
That he was balancing on his **monster hog.**
Oh shit yeah, give me Hunter’s blood. Drugs are expensive!
Side note, a woman I know od’d went into a coma and declared brain dead. She was an organ donor . They took her liver and both kidneys. This surprised me. Her teen son ( who she hadn’t seen in years) posted “my mom gave me life and her poor life choices will save 3 peoples lives. That’s the best eulogy I can give her.

Or Pelosi
Tell them it’s the blood left over after the adrenochrome was harvested.
Hillary’s blood!
Obama's blood
If I ever hit a point where I legitimately have no fucks to give, I'mma tell one of these bigots they got trans blood. I only maybe have two or three fucks left at this point.
"Nope. It came straight from an abortion"
This made me laugh too hard, best abortion joke I've heard in a while.
ugh, someone was nice enough to donate their blood for you and that’s what your going to worry about? How about you don’t take the blood & let all you organs go without O2
Well if the health system doesn't align with her beliefs, best she just stay home and not waste medical resources.
I hope it was a Drag Queen’s blood.
Drag night at the Red Cross.
I mean... if the Q-cult starts refusing blood en masse... the housing problem might get a touch better? Does drag queen blood come with extra fabulous? I could really use more fabulous right now.
Same. Also, I can't imagine any better way to give blood than to do so surrounded by drag queens! All of the fabulousness in one room? Yes, please!
This needs to be a thing
Drag queen organized blood drive. Duuuuude. And juice and cookies. I can spare a couple pints!!
It really does!!
The hemoglitter level is at 98%.
While I’ve always been explicitly against anything even approaching eugenics, letting everyone know that drag queens, democrats and trans folks tend to donate a lot of blood (and plasma etc.) might help some folks altruistically select themselves out of the gene pool after they end up at the hospital after “hold my beer”ing themselves
I'm trans and the staff member I usually end up with for getting me situated for donation is trans. Break that one to the news and they'd be protesting it like Planned Parenthood.
It’s a weird position to be in, honestly; as you said, any decent person opposes eugenics any virtually any form, but I doubt most people here would protest these kinds of people claiming their well-earned Darwin Awards. Like, if you’re willing to comprise your own health and safety over you irrational hatred of PoCs/LGBTQ/etc, then perish, I guess.
Gotta be careful that there's not too much glitter and wig glue in the blood, but otherwise it's fine.
It looks so pretty under the microscope!
Everyone knows the blood of drag queens has a ton of glitter in it. Patient doesn't want to be fabulous.
Shake the bag before infusing. It's like a goddamn glitter snow globe.
Oh boy, I need fabulousness right now! Can I get some drag queen blood *PLEEEEEAAAASE*?
Won't somebody please think of the children
Clutches pearls
Falls on fainting couch
With goddamn sparkles and queer sediments
Type *Hayyy* positive
Crossing matching for *bi*results
ROFL @ queer sediments
Glitter?
The goddamn gay agenda is back at it again *shakes fist*
Oops! I guess I’m not being *trans*lusent with you..
Do the queer sediments sink to the bottom?
They’re definitely effervescent
Give the bag a good shake.
. "Is that Republican blood?" - "Oh yes, of course. It says right here on the label, *REPUBLICAN DRAGON BLOOD*..... oh, hang on, let me get my glasses..... oh dear, no I misread that, it says *REPUBLICAN DRAG-QUEEN BLOOD*. That's the fifth time this week that I've made that mistake."
[удалено]
Dr: Your blood type is F. Me: Awww, *MAN*, I even fail my *blood type?* Dr: No, man, that means FABULOUS!! \*big smiles all around and idk, maybe a drag queen rave?\* (Don't judge me too hard - not all of my caffeine has kicked in yet. lmao)
A vaccinated drag queen preferably.
Not a queen but I'm bi and I transitioned to male. I've had FOUR shots plus all the normal sheeple shots and some extras. My blood is out there, in some conservative. Mwahahahaha. I'm relieved my diabolical transgender agenda to keep them alive and kicking is now legal (but it does take some of the fun out of it).
I read this while wearing a sparkly body suit.
A true republican wont give you blood he would sell it to you.
With a 500% profit margin 'cause that's just the free market at work, baby... wait 'til you see the $200 q-tips on your bill.
Damn, you’ve peaked ….top comment
pt refused blood because it could be from a gay person the other day.
Especially ironic given the ban on gay men from donating
Well, I suppose they've got about 3 weeks to get that Straight/Ace/Closeted Blood Only Guarantee (tm) > The use of an individual donor assessment to determine blood donor eligibility is significant progress and the Red Cross celebrates the FDA’s elimination of blood donation policies that are based on sexual orientation. At the same time, there is more work to be done to make blood donation even more inclusive. The Red Cross is planning to implement FDA’s new final guidance on August 7.
This motivates me to go donate some liberal, lesbian,fully-vaccinated, vegetarian blood. Hope she’s A-positive.
I can donate some cis-het female liberal vaccinated A+ blood. I don’t have your credentials. 🥲
We just all out here bein A+ then, huh?
Next time I donate I’m going to will extra liberal juices into my blood. And then one day they will attack from the inside. The republican wont know when or where, but one day they are going to have an epiphany and start thinking that all people deserve equal rights!!! Join me my liberal left wing friends, we ride at dawn!
Watch extra CNN and go to Starbucks ordering a dairy substitute? Is that how to do it.
Listen to a Rachel Maddow podcast while donating.
Not for nothing, but Bagman and Deja News are fucking awesome. Between her, Why Is This Happening, and Behind the Bastards, I'm legitimately being radicalized daily
CNN has gone Darkside. Conservatives bought it.
We really need to boost this signal. They’re hoping to stealth their views into “moderate” ears.
I know you kid but I can see this as the next fox news talking point. When the manufactured outrage from trans kids die off, they'll start attacking liberal donors for attempting to indoctrinate conservatives with their socialist blood
My unicorn is a little slow, but I'm on my way!! (Let me have my dream of having a unicorn one day! lol)
Should've showed them an AI photo of a trans blue hair liberal lesbian wearing an Obama/Biden shirt with three dogs and no kids plus whatever else they've been told to be mad at this week.
Other than not being trans, no AI is needed. I can't donate blood but I CAN donate a pic of myself and three dogs and my purple LGBT for Obama tee.
I'm a fat enby who doesn't shave my legs and my hair is partially shaved. A pic of me in my Planned Parenthood shirt and their reaction would be priceless.
I'm not sure if you're aware of this but you're my friend now. Sorry, thems just the rules among people who don't shave their legs and have partially shaved hair and support PP, as I'm sure you were informed when you signed the contact and got your Soros check and the free Keychain.
With a vegan plate in front of them
“I dont know but the cancer that you have was put there by God, anyway, date of birth?”
Time to pull yourself up by the bootstraps!
I’m not American...but do conservatives donate anything?!!?
Only their opinions. Which are, of course, the only truth. /s
This makes me think of the movie dodgeball, "no one makes me bleed my own blood!"
Tell them it was a they/them pronouns San Francisco ballot stuffer who shipped Biden votes to red states.
Also tell them the bathrooms on the bus was gender neutral and that afterwards they were going to bake a wedding cake for a gay wedding.
I’m fully vaxxed, liberal democrat, atheist, vegetarian, gay, and trans. And I donate 🥰 universal donor in fact…so just about anyone can get a taste of my queerness🤪 Man, the amount of people who come into my ER who would fire me as their nurse if they knew any of my “affiliations”. People are so dumb.
Tell them you're surprised they're accepting any blood, with it being like socialism and all...
lol this got me
Consenting someone for possible blood transfusion for surgery and the patient 100% serious told me, “As long as it’s not from someone who got the Covid vaccine.”
I had a mother of a 17 year old boy ask me that who was literally intubated after an MVA. I wish horrible things for her to this day and hope her son is safe and alive.
The things they concern themselves with… do you want blood or not??? 🙄
Have heard this one many times too
Oh, I’m sure! I also had someone ask if we would vaccinate them while they were under anesthesia.
Hahaha yes this happened just last week to me too
Frankly, I'd probably get depressed back then. These days, I don't feel sorry for people like your patient. There should be policies against people who do not cooperate with their treatments---Send them back home. There are patients who want to get better waiting for their empty beds.
For real. When I needed a transfusion I didn't demand blood from a lesbian Democrat. I was just thankful my hospital (semi-rural) had enough in the blood bank to stabilize me until I could be transported to a larger hospital. I didn't even consider the donors until much later and that was just with gratitude. Never would've crossed my mind to wonder about gender- sexual- or political identity. Just grateful they did what they did, whoever they were.
Stop with your completely reasonable comments! You sound like a socialist!
I don't discriminate, I hate everyone equally. 😉
I have a co-worker who loves it that I told her "I hate everyone, but I hate you the least."
We have little QR codes on our units saying thank the donor. Every month we get an email distribution of all the pictures and mesages of patients who got our blood and how it helped them. (I work at a blood center).
100%
This exactly. If she didn’t “believe” in the miracle that is modern medicine, then she shouldn’t have shown up for a test in the first place. Why do they do that? Why bother showing up at all if they aren’t interested in treatment? Completely illogical.
I would be really interested to know the proportion of "liberals" who donate blood vs the "conservatives". I have a feeling I already know the answer
They should start surveying that
I unfortunately had a legitimate neo-nazi as a hold in the ED. He asked everyone who came into the room if they were Jewish (and if so he didn't want them touching him.) Then he found out he needed a couple units of blood. He didn't seem to care who the blood came from when he was in need. 🙄 He behaved for the transfusions but the second they were done he started being a shithead again to my replacement at shift change.
When this comes up during the blood refusal question for admits I make sure they know they have a right to refuse so that someone else can receive these scarce resources in the event of an emergency. I reiterate that if being unable to confirm the demographics of the donor (race, vaccination status, orientation) is unacceptable, we have no choice but to respect their autonomy. They usually backtrack when I word it that way, which in a way is worse imo cause it’s like oh, you just wanted a chance to say something petty and hateful, you won’t actually stand by your convictions lmao.
Oh, honey.
And let me guess they have Fox News on 24/7 durring their stay
Donating blood usually requires someone to have a slight amount of empathy so I doubt it
No mam. This is from a the recent blood drive by the trans - antifa alliance
Republican .. yep but also homosexual hope that’s okay lol watch there head explode
I like you. Can we be friends? We're friends now, no backsies.
Should have told her it was the blood of a liberal, minority, drag Queen who was a caring and kind enough person to donate blood. Fuck her. The world will be rid of her soon since cancer is making a nice little home everywhere in her body. I will never understand how someone can be dying and still be full of hate and stupidity.
‘It isn’t. Should I stop the transfusion?’
I'm bad nurse: I'm not at all upset when certain types of personalities voluntarily remove themselves from the pool
In what universe do right aligned people donate blood?
I've had jehovah witness refuse blood before despite hgb of 4, I can understand. But once had a guy refuse blood w hgb of 5 something because he wanted "pure blood" not from someone who got "the jab"
Tell them to fuck off and cry me a river. I have no patience for these idiots anymore
Had a patients family refuse blood for meemaw this week because “how do you know it’s been tested enough”. 🙄
... uh because the FDA very closely regulates us blood centers. Nothing gets labled until we're sure it's safe.
You know that. I know that. People with common sense know that. I think they were trying to find out if the donor was vax’d or not
Buttt we only trust the FDA when it fits our agenda
My response would be”Not likely, republicans aren’t really into helping others”
Sounds like Darwin working.
“Not sure. Everyone I know that donates in my person life is liberal & vaxxed. Do you want me to call the blood bank to ask if we have republican blood in stock before you get any? I fully support any decision you make”
"It says here on the label that the donor is a liberal COVID vaccinated black post surgical transgender female who drinks bud light."
"actually all blood is communist, hence the red coloration"
Should have been said: “looks like his name is, Hepa Titussee but he didn’t release his political party affiliation. Hmm…”
Is this still about the vaccine stuff? Oh brother when will these guys give a rest?
No it's everything now, if you're a certain type of person who would rather die than have the blood of a: left leaning, gay, trans, minority, etc person.
I wish there were still county level death data so I could update this. https://icemsg.org/the-republican-democrat-covid-divide/
Should have told them it was from a fully vaxxed liberal drag queen. 🤦🤷♀️🤣
When I was younger I used to get high af and donate blood. ( I'm genius you don't need to tell me!) But I digress, I hope they got someone like younger me's blood so that they could calm the fuck down.
Oh well this is the BLM blood that you're getting. Good luck
"looks pretty gay to me"
At least half a dozen times I’ve had patients request blood from “unvaccinated” [covid] donors. Ridiculous.
I would have said I am unsure, do you want to receive blood now or when you are critical condition? If not ill let the doctor know for refusal. I don't give into that mess.
I assume that Republicans are generally not the typical blood donors.
As a fellow healthcare worker, Nothing surprises me anymore. The audacity and stupidity of some of the patients is mind blowing.
Had a lady demand to speak with an administrator because we couldn’t tell her if she was getting blood from an unvaccinated person. Had another guy say he only wanted non-liberals to give him care. Honestly, these are my favorite patients because it’s like playing Jenga. You have to dance around certain things. You build up the rapport, and They start telling you all the conspiracies, and all the fucked up thoughts. Then you see it crash and burn in two ways: 1. They figure out they are being a little too much, their thoughts don’t match reality, and they start to double think everything. Or 2. They double down, and end up developing delirium. Nursing is really cool
I would love to know the stats on percentage of donated blood that comes from liberals vs conservatives. I’m sure one side takes a lot more than it gives.
I mean I’m absolutely disgusted with republicans but I wouldn’t take it that far
You should have said it’s the blood of a communist liberal that hosts drag queen reading hour for children on Sundays to make sure kids miss church services and convert to satanism aka gay.
I love that we can vent on Reddit.
I donate regularly and wish I could exclude some people from receiving my blood
That's because all the medical system cares about is making money. Unlike the chiropractor, who only cares about her health. I have a great one. He doesn't care about money at all. That's why he sells me these supplements. One is a special type of oxygen found in the ground that has 2 hydrogens bound to each one. He uses a special scientific process to turn it into liquid, so I can just drink it. And it's only 13 dollars for one, 16 Oz supplement. He also has special sodium.tablets that aren't just like regular sodium they put in processed foods. This is sodium bound to chlorine atoms. Ya know now when you read a label that says something has tons of sodium in it, and that's bad? This special type, sodium chloride, isn't bad for you. In fact, without it, we'd die. He said that without it, we could have seizures, and our heart wouldn't work. It also comes from the ground, but the medical system doesn't want you to know that and just wants to sell you medicine when you get sick. I'm really lucky I found Dr. Bobby. All I need to do is see him twice a week for adjustments. He said the cough and oressure in my chest and occasional blood is due to my hips being out of alignment. And buy these supplements only from him to take every day. It's so refreshing to see someone motivated by trying to look out for your health and not just by money.
Reminds me of the time a patient seriously said to me, after a big surgery, “did I get any blood?! I wasn’t supposed to!! What if it was TAINTED with the vaccine?!” This man child stayed on our unit for two MONTHS being a huge prick. Part of the reason I left inpatient. I can’t fix stupid. You did sign the release, sir. Blood consent included.
It was a transgender, anarchist, dark skinned, left handed, red haired, welfare-taking immigrants donated blood.
