They worship the “god” of inclusion.
I was told it just goes into the general blood “fund”
From the article...
“Although receiving your own blood may put your mind at ease, preoperative autologous donations are really only considered if there’s a local blood shortage and/or your anticipated blood needs after surgery are high.”
Oh, I agree. I have a rare blood type A- - and my dad needed lots and lots of blood (before he finally died). We had the same blood type so I was able to donate to him. No one else in my extended family, including my own children have this particular blood type.
I was grateful for the people who came forward to donate - they had to search around the state for the blood. I always think of this - and wish to “pay it forward” - which I have.
I had bilateral knee replacement last September. They took some of my blood prior to the surgery, just in case. The Doc said there are fewer complications that way. I just thought it was a common practice. This was the first surgery I ever had.
No...my hub tried to give HIS blood to a friend for heart surgery...both A-...he was told it just went in the “pool”
