Ein Ruf nach Hilfe
Hello everyone again…how was CNY? Did you get lots of ang pows? Lots of cash? If you did, you’d better not tell me before I make you contribute to the LTA Guojun promotion fund. Anyway, coming back to what’s been going on.And wait a minute. Did I just say LTA? OMGWTF I’ve been promoted! Haw.
Anyway, today’s post is not just a post, but also an appeal. It seems that the blood bank is running on a very short supply of blood. It was estimated that although the blood bank operates on an ideal amount of 3-5 days’ worth of blood, lately supply has dropped to only 1-3 days’ worth. And it’s worrying, no?
So my appeal: Give blood, you maggots!
Been also caught up in this little moral/ethical conflict. You see…taryn approached me not long ago with a request for B+ blood group donors, to save someone afflicted with leukaemia…and I happily agreed to helping out…I mean, I’m not regretting agreeing to help; if you can give blood to save someone, all the more you should – it’s the right thing to do – but you see, there’s this little glitch.
It seems that my ex-biology teacher, a lady who really taught with flair and patience and under whose tutelage my biology really improved in leaps and bounds from, well, Nichtswissen until I finally clinched my A during my A’s, is currently suffering from that very same disease as well…gladys just sent me an SMS telling me of it, with of course, the request for B+ blood. Therein lies the conflict.
Do I give to a benefactor of mine, or do I stick to my promise to taryn? Granted, both are good deeds, but naturally you’d be more inclined to render help to someone who gave you help before too, stimmt? It’s not to say that I’m belittling anyone’s predicament…it’s really a bad state to be in…but one has to make a choice…what do I do…
Why are there so many ethical conflicts in my life now?! I don’t even know how to ‘do the right thing’ anymore. It’s so complex!
And in the meantime, if your blood group is B+ and you are a willing eligible donor (which means you are at least 16 years of age and have parental permission or are 18 and above), please take heed of the following notice:
My ex-biology teacher, Mrs. Che, is suffering from leukaemia and needs B+ blood. If you can donate, please contact Mr. Davidson: paul_davidson@moe.edu.sg
Please go for it. The gift of life is something so precious, and yet it’ll only take a few minutes of your precious time! If you require parental consent forms, I think you can get them from the BloodBank@HSA, or you can call that person involved and check with him if he can get you any forms.
And for that, I could say, danke schön, mille grazie, mercì beaucoup, and so many more ways, I could give you a bearhug or a kiss, but deep down you won’t really need all of this. You’ll feel good enough in the knowledge that you’ve helped someone. And don’t forget: if you give now, people will give back to you in times of need as well.
(Ed: it's all been cleared up. We've been talking about the same person all along. Some kind of minor miracle. Hmmm.)
