If you're an AB blood group, whether rhesus pos or neg, you could look at platelet donatio

n. Well, any blood group I think, but they particularly want platelets from AB people (I'm ABNeg) but you need good veins in both arms, because of they way the blood is drawn (out from one arm, spun through a machine to extract platelets, and then back in the other arm). My veins aren't up to it, apparently, so I can't play.
