Giving Blood

[Starman]

The location is the 5th floor of the new building at Buriram Government Hospital.

Years ago, in the UK, I was told that having had jaundice as a child automatically excluded me. A brief look at the current UK rules do not mention jaundice.  However ones sexual proclivities are taken into account in the UK, which can result in not being permitted to donate.

It is therefore only my age that precludes me from donating.
