You my be correct in general, but you can bank blood for scheduled near future surgeries for yourself or family members

Thanks...I did some AI research and found that now many surgeeons reuse your blood in many cases. Guess the question now is where can I bank my own blood (or friends/relatives)...near me...smaller city.

Family members could have a different blood type. My mother had a different blood type than the one I have.
