The newest and latest thing that I have heard was that our Government have been secretly tracking us....
hmmmm...So whats up has anyone got any new stories to share??? Something rather odd happened to me about 10 months ago where the hospital called me and said that the lab had lost my blood sample from my doctors office and could I come give another sample at the hospital...I show up and they say that the lab found my sample but wasn't sure there was enough to run the tests and could I give the hospital some more blood and they would keep it at the hospital just in case The strange thing was that they wouldn't put it on my insurance that it would just be off the record...so I gave them blood and then they gave me a friggin walmart gift card for 20 dollars for the hassle....lmfao...I left the hospital shaking my head...a walmart gift card....so stupid but kinda creepy...so anybody here have any O rh neg info or stories???

Do they still charge the donor $$$ for lab costs and such...back in the 1990's when my blood was untainted I was going to be a bone morrow donor but when I checked with red cross it would have costed me to donate and it was expensive...Is it still the same way now days???

With regard to transfusions of packed red blood cells, individuals with type O Rh D negative blood are often called universal donors, and those with type AB Rh D positive blood are called universal recipients; however, these terms are only generally true with respect to possible reactions of the recipient's anti-A and anti-B antibodies to transfused red blood cells, and also possible sensitization to Rh D antigens. One exception is individuals with hh antigen system (also known as the Bombay phenotype) who can only receive blood safely from other hh donors, because they form antibodies against the H antigen present on all red blood cells.
