The Red Cross came to work this week and I've finally had the nerve to look at the needle while in my arm. Okay, so I had the [phlebotomist](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_donation) take the photo and I looked later.

20+ years of donating and the thought still wigs me out.
Still, you're a braver man than I. My pulse jumps about 50 beats per minute even when I'm just having a blood test. And that's no where near the volume of blood involved in a typical blood drive donation.
