crowsDear World Medical Community,
Can one of y'all develop a test for variant Creutzfeld-Jacob Disease, please? I'm not so worried about being a mad cow myself, one way or another, but it makes me very sad that I cannot donate blood, as I have the rare and unique trait of not being very stressed out by needles, and would thusly donate regularly, were I allowed.
While I am sympathetic to the need to keep other people from becoming mad cows by guarding the blood supply against variant Creutzfeld-Jacob Disease, the fact that I cannot contribute socially in this matter makes me have sadface ---> :(.
Keep me posted as to the timeline of this project.
Love,
Marie
