I was thinking. So, the Blood Bank. They come to my workplace with the blood bus probably every other month. I usually sign up to have my blood drawn because a) it's sort of fun, b) free

That's kind of creepy.  Do you want to know what it's used for?  Say there was a car accident where someone was horribly injured and needed 5 pints of blood STAT! Do you want to

Helps prevent prostate cancer? How does... how does that even work? I know it's just a statistical probability you're mentioning, but I don't understand the mechanism at work there.

kaiden in Mercy General, about +14Y ago:
Oh definitely. Wouldn't be an easy sell, particularly to a non-profit. I'm guessing there's also a visibility problem into whose blood gets used and whose doesn't. They

I don't remember the exact biological mechanism, but I'm sure you could find the explanation somewhere. I just know there is a statistical correlation that has been found, and a biological

Isn't this like that one movie.... with the guy who has the widow's husband's heart? And there's crying? You just want to cry, Josh.

Leeches usually help a lot against prostate cancer. Although I could understand your revulsion, it's not a needle after all.
