One of the biggest misconceptions about organ donation is that only one person can benefit from a single donor. In reality, one registered donor can save up to 8 lives through organ donation and improve the lives of up to 75 people through tissue donation.

This post is well worth a re-read - for all the important messages in it. However, one part in particular stimulated a "light bulb moment" for me - Emma's O Negative blood type. With apologies to the many LinkedIners who know all about this already, it nevertheless occurs to me that a re-emphasis of the point may be valuable. How many people know why O- is so precious? I guess most folk know that "it can be given to anyone, regardless of their own particular blood type" (well... almost.. most of the time ...) BUT - why is that so special? Surely all hospital blood banks have a good stock of all blood types? Surely specific individualised cross-matching is standard practice? WELL - yes, of course - but - maybe not always so obviously to everyone - there's often no time for cross-matching. Often the patient needs a transfusion NOW, immediately. Often, at the scene of an accident, or when an ambulance screeches to a halt outside A&E, what's needed is "blood - please - quickly - type unknown". That of course is when and where O Neg blood is just absolutely essential - not just because without an O Neg transfusion the patient will probably die - but because if they're given another type and it's the wrong type, they will definitely die! All O Neg folks please take note - and please follow Emma's example! All folk who don't yet know their blood type - please find out! 👍👍🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸👍👍

Did you know, there is a demand and supply gap of 2.5 donations per 1,000 eligible persons which is around one million units less than it should be [1]. A steady supply of blood is essential to prevent any tragic outcome for patients who are in constant or critical need of it. This steady supply can only be maintained if we donate blood regularly. This World Blood Donor Day, your donation can create a ripple of life-saving impact. #Roche | #ValueOfDiagnostics | #WorldBloodDonorDay | #BloodDonation | #BloodSafety | #IPledgeRED Source 1: https://lnkd.in/gkSwRWPZ.
