"Tainted Blood"

So bleed to death.

I wonder how many people reject blood from Trump supporters.

Great idea for a secondary market for blood. I mean people bought hydroxychoroquine and now ivermectin for animals that way. The distribution channel is set, now we just need to add certified untainted blood. Maybe US is the premium and you can get “generic” from other countries.

Over the years, I've seen a lot of JH refuse blood...until the doc says take it or die. After that, 1 refused. He died.

It's a choice. After all, you have to have a lot of faith in what's next to fly an airliner into a building.

Just as an aside...We're scrambling for blood. I had a gal with a 22 crit on Sunday morning...Common type, O pos, usually not a problem. I've got four units on the shelf. Four. And two O negs. Now folks, this is a small rural hospital and the normal inventory is 12 O pos and 4 O neg.

I was able to squeeze four units out of the blood center, and those didn't come in until 1900.

Just curious, due to what? How old?

[Jolly]

Why the low crit? I dunno. She was in her 80's.

I do know she's been in a nursing home for quite some time.

Ah, OK. At 80 she might appreciate a top-up.

At 20, I'd say, "nah."
