I got suckered into giving blood yesterday......Seeing it drain out got me fascinated.

I have 0+ blood so everyone wants mine- but the boys have 0- blood.

So It got me curious.

Whatcha got?

Almost 40% of the population has O+ blood

Patients with Type O blood must receive Type O blood

About half of all blood ordered by hospitals is Type O

Type O blood is the universal blood type and is the only blood type that can be transfused to patients with other blood types

Only about 7% of all people have Type O negative blood

Type O negative blood is the preferred type for accident victims and babies needing exchange transfusions

There is always a need for Type O donors because their blood may be transfused to a person of any blood type in an emergency

A person with type A blood can donate blood to a person with type A or type AB. A person with type B blood can donate blood to a person with type B or type AB. A person with type AB blood can donate blood to a person with type AB only. A person with type O blood can donate to anyone.

A person with type A blood can receive blood from a person with type A or type O. A person with type B blood can receive blood from a person with type B or type O. A person with type AB blood can receive blood from anyone. A person with type O blood can receive blood from a person with type O.

 

O- universal donor, wife and me both so my son had to be also.

 

I had to add the no clue option.

 

NO clue?
Everyone knows that- But my Mama- she SWEARS she has the blood type-
RH negative. HA. Its actually AB negative. I got my good 0+ Blood from my Daddy and passed it on like a good daughter should.

 

O-. The thing that got me most when I gave blood was not the needle itself, but the warm sensation of the blood running through the tube that's taped to your arm....

A- here.

 

wheres the "red" option?

 

I dunno
Mines Blue

 

oh very funny missy <_<

 

My bruise anyhow .I look like a heroin addict.

Very creepy experience- I nearly
And the cookies were gross. I hate Chocolate Chip.

In high school I donated the crap out of my blood cause I could pretend to be very sick after get to check out and jump in my car and go out to do something NOT in school.


I do find it very interesting the twin of me got my blood and the boy didn't get my blood but intrestingly we all have one form of 0 or the other.

 

i think im O+. Im sure im one of the Os. lll just hack into the hospitals records and check.

 

All these posts and no one said anything about bleeding Ford Blue?

I have B-. Pretty rare, and for obvious reasons there's not a lot of it blood banks. I remember when I was in the Marines I was asked to donate blood for a fellow leatherneck--there were only 7 of us in a regiment of almost 2000.

 

O- the blood center of wisconsin calls me every eight weeks and im listed as the emergency donor for my entire family

 

AB-, I can take all donations. :w00t:

 

Anyone else's wife and kids have the exact variations of blood?
My boys have one type of 0 and the girls have the other.

Yea Ford blue- And here I was thanking the stars Eleanor has no blue oval on her anywhere.

 

O+. I remember the first time I donated. After it was over I drank the juice and ate the cookies they gave me, stood up...........and passed out. They let me leave about 30 minutes later and while walking back to my dorm I passed out again.

 

Notta clue & I really don't want one either. Unless I can find out with a poke to the finger. I HATE needles.

However my mom & grandma & grandpa on her side all have the same type O blood (neg or pos I don't remember). So there's 1 option but I don't know what my dad is so....I guess it could still be anything.



Hey April, you forgot to mention that neg can only recieve from neg & pos can only recieve pos. At least that's what I remember from Bio 2 years ago.

 

O rh + my first time a wack of other people were " Code 10 " they were all starting to pass out from seeing they had some or lack of it ? Tis better to have to give then recieve huh. Nd the free doanut doanut & juice you gotta swig down or they will not let you go ?
