It's sad to see HIV transmitted to innocent people this way.

Why the blood shortage in Boca? I used to live there, am rare AB neg, blood bank would drain me dry if they got their hands on me.

How often can you give blood and stay healthy?

You can donate blood once every 56 days or so under current rules. Of course, one could simply go to a different blood bank and give more often.

I believe six weeks is the recommended waiting period.

My wife works at Delray Medical Center and blood supply has been down at dangerous inventory levels for many, many months now.

Why?

It can't be the voter registration breakdown here in Palm Beach County, can it?

47 % Demorcrat
33 % Republican
20 % No Party

You would think with all those compassionate Dems down here, there would be a huge surplus!
