    You're a life saver.

They say that each donation saves "up to" three lives. Typical fuzzy promotional language. The Red Cross app lets you join a team and compete to save more lives than anyone else. Just sayin', it's a little lonely on this team.

    Spend 5 minutes in Emergency once a week

Do they let people wander into the ER to observe, or do you have to be actively bleeding? Maybe I could build up my tolerance with YouTube videos of surgery. A little desensitization could be a good thing, though I am wary of going overboard.
