It was reported on FOX that one-third of the blood donated for the victims of the attacks was contaminated with STDs including AIDS. Anyone need a blood transfusion?
Hospitals will allow you to donate your own blood in preparation for surgery. However, there is NO GUARANTEE that you will receive your OWN blood if needed during surgical procedure. Don't worry, though...ALL blood is tested. Are you comfortable with that? Real cozy? As cozy as the passengers at Logan who thought airport security was "state of the art"?
