I have hemochromatosis and here in Germany it's impossible for me to donate blood. It's not actually forbidden, afaik, but no company want's to give 'contaminated' blood to patients, even though it would be perfectly fine.

Do you do phlebotomy some other way? Do you just draw the blood yourself and discard it? It amused me very much at the time to think that "bloodletting" might, in fact, be medically prescribed.
