A British blood donor said he was turned away after refusing to answer a question asking if he was pregnant, citing that he is a man in his 60s, according to reports.
Leslie Sinclair, 66, told the Daily Mail he has given 125 pints of blood over the past five decades. But on his last trip to a clinic in Stirling, Scotland, he was told to fill out a form that asked if he was expecting a child or had been pregnant in the past six months.After noting that he is a male, the clinic staff said they could not accept his blood unless he provided an answer despite a push by officials to attract new blood donors.
"I am angry because I have been giving blood since I was 18 and have regularly gone along," the father of two told the Daily Mail. "I'm very happy to do so without any problem. "We appreciate the support of each and every one of our donor community and thank Mr Sinclair for his commitment over a long number of years.
