I've tried to donate blood but gotten rejected for, shall we say, a very minor medical annoyance that I've been dealing with. Aside from that, I don't like having to lie about steroid use. Are there any alternative ways to lower RBC, hematocrit, and hemoglobin? If I can find a willing nurse or doctor friend, would he/she be able to do an at-home phlebotomy with basic supplies and dump the blood down a drain or something?
