Freeper Maria Bush's husband is in the hospital. He requires tranfusions. His blood type is O- (O negative). The hospital, which is in the Memphis area, says they can't locate any O negative blood and want to give him one pint of O+ (O positive). He is very hesitant to let them do this as he has always been told to never let anyone give him any type other than O negative. He is not in immediate danger of death, but does need blood, he has already received two pints but needs two more pints. His doctor and two Pathologists say it is okay to do this. One Pathologist says no, don't do it. Has anyone ever heard of this?

Can't offer any opinion, just want to offer prayers for Mrs. Bush's husband that he gets the blood that he needs.

I am married to a big old hunk of a man with O negative blood. Can we get it to you from Atlanta in time?

No offense intended, but I think for medical advice, I'd take the doctor's word over the prevailing opinion of FReepers.

Thank you. If anyone knows how to ping the prayer list I'd appreciate it.

None taken, but we have conflicting opinions from doctors.

Oh how I wish, I don't know how that would work. But if he is willing to go donate for her husband I'll ask her to check with the Memphis blood people and see if it can be transported from Atlanta to Memphis.

Perhaps there's an O- freeper in the Memphis area who can lend an arm.

I cannot imagine in this day and age that this question even has docs at odds. I have no idea, but I'd definitely seek more professional advice, like soon!...........

IIRC, O+ is a universal donor and should be OK.

But I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I will call the red cross in the AM. Maybe they can send it?

Have her ask her doctors if they have a mechanism for this sort of thing.

My O- husband says he thinks he can get O+ if you take some kind of anti-rejection meds with it. It's something to ask about at least.

Memphis has a bajillion hospitals. Why don't they have any O-?

O- is universal donor .... O+ is universal recipient.

Type O-negative blood does not have any antigens. It is called the "universal donor" type because it is compatible with any blood type. Type AB-positive blood is called the "universal recipient" type because a person who has it can receive blood of any type. Although “universal donor” and “universal recipient” types are occasionally used to classify blood in an emergency, blood type tests are always done to prevent transfusion reactions.
