		<description><![CDATA[I heard about the British. And the French too.

But for them they have some kind of a scientific explanation, and for me nothing but &quot;Procedure&quot;.

I just want to make sure that the MDA High General Commissioner Secretary Manager Doctor Person knows it. And the Minister of Health too (although he probably wouldn&#039;t give a damn). And the newspapers. And the relatives of people who are sick or dead because there isn&#039;t enough blood in the bank.

God, am i pissed off.

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Almog,

Thanks for being sincere.

You may be right, but as i said - &quot;I gave blood every six months for almost eight years&quot;. Since i was 18. Why did it take them eight years to tell me that?

No way i&#039;m giving up now. I&#039;ll show them.

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Aharoni,
Long time no talk...
Anyway, I hate to spoil the party even more but - it does have ETHIOPIAN written all over it. Want to know why?

Well - it is true that OLIM (immigrants) from Russia have a higher probability of carrying Hepatitis C (because of not using disposable needles a while back when vaccinating at schools there). But is it coincidence that only immigrants from the eastern block are tested for H C? I don&#039;t think so..]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am not surprised... My daughter spent a year in Romania as an exchange student. Another exchange student to the same country was recently told that she can NEVER give blood in the US, at least not to the Red Cross. Although she is perfectly healthy, because of past problems with HIV-risky behavior among eastern bloc physicians (needle sharing, etc.), the Red Cross doesn&#039;t accept blood from anyone who&#039;s lived in Eastern Bloc countries. Shame..... I think they miss a lot of great donors that way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m glad to see you here.

The Bor was in the army of course. There were a couple of Noas in mine.

I haven&#039;t performed yet, but i hope to do it soon enough - in the next couple of weeks.

I don&#039;t have your email to notify you, but you can follow the Blog.

I started following that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/eyeoneband&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Eyeone band&lt;/a&gt; from Marakia. They played at the Gula on Tuesday.

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Noa,

Thanks for your kind words.

Do i know you from somewhere? (‫מרקיה? בלשנות? בור?)

‪what do you mean:&quot;False positive again&quot;?

They did the same tests like a year ago: A simple one, which they call סקר (&quot;survey&quot;??) and it showed that i am positive and then they did a second test and it showed that i am negative. They say that if the second test is negative, then i don&#039;t have to worry about my health, but if the first one is positive then i can&#039;t donate blood, because that&#039;s the procedure.

They asked me - &quot;Would you want to take blood from someone who had positive results in one of the tests?&quot; I said that i would, if my life depended on it, &#039;cuz what does it matter how i die? It didn&#039;t convince them, of course.

&gt; do you feel like an ethiopian now?

Not really. With the Ethiopians it was different - MDA took their blood and then lied to them and didn&#039;t tell that they are throwing it away. In my case they are at least telling me.

But i am stilled pissed off, because i want to donate and cannot, because of pure bureaucracy.

Someone told me - &quot;If you want to donate so much, why not donate money?&quot; And the answer is simple - millions won&#039;t help you if the blood bank is empty. And from what i&#039;ve heard, the Israeli blood bank runs out of O- blood type quite often. So when someone needs it and there is none, he might just die.

I still don&#039;t give up - i want to complain to the Ministry of Health.
