Mail from Mr Anoop Arora

It is very unfortunate that, people who are registered on this site do not understand the gravity of the situation, that if one registers they are doing so their own, not under any pressure from any quarter. I am quoting below one incidence that happened with me, I am registered with Indianblooddonors.com, I was requested by Mr. Mohit to donate blood for his relative who was to undergo operation on 07.02.2010. I did the needful, but unfortunately one of my relative was admitted in Escorts Hopital Delhi, the requirement was for AB+ve Blood, Since I also had the same blood group but could not donate since I had donated on 07.01.2010. I contacted one Mr xxxx xxxxxx contact no. xxxxxxxxxx, whose contact details were sent to me by Indianblooddonors.com but he declined to help me citing exigencies, I would suggest that such sort of people should be discouraged from registering on the site. Needless to mention that nothing is more important in life, than saving a life.

I wanted to Bless you but now i will not Bless you !

3 requests were posted on IBD by a lady from Mumbai . Two requests were from O-ve and one request was for B-ve. When i checked up the request the email id of the person requesting the blood did not match with the person posting the request. Also the request were of Different Blood Groups. Seeing this i Blocked the request.

On blocking the request i got a call from the lady who had put the request. As is customary i asked her a few questions to confirm if the request was authenticate and what was the Blood Group needed. After a few question the lady got angry as to why i was wasting her time asking foolish questions. In a split second she was angry at me . I asked her to cool down and was trying to tell her why we have to be careful with Negative Blood Group request.

She was not ready to listen to me and so i disconnected the call. She again called me up and repremanded me for disconnecting the call. She tells me why i had built the network of donors if we are not ready to help. I again tried to calm her down . She then told me That I want to bless the person who had made this network But now i will not Bless you. I told her that i did not need her blessing and she should not bless me. She disconnected the call .

I called up the contact number given in her request. She picked up the call. I then took the lead in speaking to her and did not let her speak. Lest she again lead the tirade against me. I then told her that how Negative Blood Groups are sold at a premium by some unscrupulous elements. That seemed to cool her down. I told her that i had unblocked her request. She can use the helpline. I kept on monitoring her request.

In and hour and a half she got the required 5 donors of B-ve Blood group. After which she sent us a mail thanking the people behind the cause.

Madam did you bless us ?

Mail from Mr Ramesh

Your website was very user friendly earlier and now people have to spend a lot of time to get the list of donors in a city ( if they can!!!)Why complicated the stuff? Think like a user. A person in need of bloodnow have to register and then use some password to contact donors?I wish you simplify.I am regular blood donor and used to recommend your site. Now I myself do not know how can one reach me if them want my blood !! All the best

Our Reply to Mr Ramesh.

Dear Mr Ramesh,
Thank you for your feedback. We work in the best interest of our Blood Donors, Patients and humanity at large. If our systems were so lengthy and cumbersome people would not use our site.
We also want our site to be user friendly but at the same time we do not want misuse of our database of blood donors.
Best Wishes
