No patient is allowed to receive more than 2 units of blood; for the very sick and the victims of trauma, this isn't close to enough. We've had numerous patients this week whose death would likely have been prevented if they couldve gotten a transfusion.
So it was a wonderful idea to have the Red Cross come to the camp for the volunteers to donate blood. But damn, that's a big f'ing needle they use.
I really hope that needle was clean -- did you check first?? TIME TO COME HOME !
