Compulsory for medical field people

I went for blood donation about a week ago (regular donor). Then this question popped up

Shouldn't all medical field people be donating blood???

All doctors, nurses, interns, medical students, nurses student maybe even pharmacist; unless of course there's medical condition that prevents you from doing so ;anemics, people with low blood pressure, blood problems...etc.

These people are meant to save lives; shouldn't they be setting a good example and donate???All these cries of the blood bank getting low on blood. How one person's blood can save 3 lives (depending on form its being used). The blood bank has been calling people up for donation, and it sure makes you wonder could all those "kind" souls who donate $$ to charity could do abit more =)

I've heard from people who are in the medical field, who refuse to donate blood, gives absurd answers to why they do not like to donate (list below), sure frustrate the h*ll out of me. They should make it compulsory for them to donate at least once a year!!!

Crappy excuse:
1. Afraid of needles
heeeelllooooooo you're a medical student you'll be poking people needles onto your patients, what $%^$%^$ excuse is that??
2. Makes me go weak
you're a doctor, you should know that this condition only last for 2-3 days, at most a week, for a healthy person.
3. I just don't like it
inconceited selfish B*****d/B***h
4. No time
then make time, I'm sure between your social life, annual leaves.. etc you could just squeeze out 1 hour for it
5. I'm having my period
then do it on another day
6. I have aids (I think this was meant as a joke, but that's not what a doctor should be replying)
you don't have one, if you're a doctor with aids... WTH are you still consulting patients?? unless the patients are confident with your work

No more dumb excuses... Go Donate Your Blood!!!!!
