i was half-expecting this to be about Dr. Kent Brantly (ebola survivor whose blood continues to be used for transfusions)



I thought this was about James Harrison [1], "also known as the Man with the golden arm" according to wikipedia. He has donated plasma more than 1000 times.

Somehow, talking about blood donations is one of the few things that helps my mood when I'm on a bad day. When I donate, I feel that maybe I do matter.
