A hospital doesn't stock the universal donor blood, operate without stored blood, & takes a donation from a kid & can't explain it to him.

Up yours for imaginatuon
diphenhydraminehcl50mg
can hospitals even ask a small child to donate blood?

Is this still floating around? I heard this story 30 years ago.

Hate to be that guy (actually, I love it) but this all seems like bullshit.
Gomegadon
I've heard this on a religious story thing they gave me at this school I went to for 3rd grade, call the number hear a story
StarryPlough
You're not 'that guy' since basically everyone in the comments has said it too.
Ratnavati
I first read this in an email I received on my aol account. That little boy would be old enough to have his own misinformed child
allthenamesaregone
Eh when I said it there was only some guy burbling on about how he wasn't crying. You know, in usersub, rather than FP newest first.

Wouldn't both the parents be O- too?

Yep.

Not necessarily? idk

Plot twist, the kids were adopted.

And that boy, was Albert Einstein. And then the whole bus stood up and clapped. etc.

I just stood up and clapped.

He actually grew up to be the Unabomber.

Obama was there

We know this because it was well covered by Brian Williams of NBC.

I thought it was Abe Lincoln.

That's who Albert Einstein grew up to be

What a rollercoaster of emotion this Oscar winning screenplay has been.

What kind of hospital operates (assuming non-emergency) on someone without having any blood ready?
freakydeath33
what idiots lead someone to believe they will die if they donate blood.
Qualtagh
Maybe it wasn't in a first world country.
mythbird
Australia sometimes has emergency calls for specific blood types, especially coming up to holiday periods.

Some blood types are rarer than others. I knew a guy in high school with a rare type, the was paid a few hundred bucks to donate.
MasterControlProgram
Holistic hospitals rarely use blood, most times the patients hold a crystal
Lesbiansass
I live for these comments
Czck
O- is quite rare. I have it. I had an operation when I was a kid and it took weeks to get the blood necessary
RaptorVag
Not really rare, but used often. I'm O- and I'm constantly called to donate blood. It's safest to use when you don't know a person's type.
FernandoRumdebum
Just read their tinder prof - oh OK

Ah, yes, under the supervision of Dr. Pointwhore.
CanIHaveTreeFiddy
I hear he's a little bit of a faggot. Not that I've met him personally.
SomeRandomArsehole
However, I do know his mother very well. Very, very well.
Andalite
They didn't do the surgery until they had the blood they needed. Come on, use your brain for once
boogertown
Nice +1
williewest12
I can't. The hospital didn't have any brains to spare for me to have one to use.
wronaldweasley
It's like cooking. Except instead of "aww I forgot to buy butter" it's "oh shit I forgot to pick up blood"
Andalite
It's a blood type that can only receive blood of its own type and is the closest thing to a universal donor type we got. Tends to run out
InstructionsUnclearSummonedCthulhu
O- is very rare, not all hospitals readily stock it.
3nd3rwiggin
I'm O- get called every week to donate platelets. Unfortunately I can only make in in about twice a month.
AbyssinianRem
Well, fuck. I faint at the thought of anything piercing my skin and have been debating donating blood. I'm O-. Damn it...
WhatTheFrench
It seems like the kind they'd most readily stock, since anyone can use it in a pinch.
BornToDoStuff
its the kind they WANT to most readily stock. Its also super rare though
throwaway360
Surely they can have it delivered in advance before the operation right? Not sure how those things work exactly as I'm no doctor.
hitshappens
Sometimes they don't full type match early enough so they have to wait or reschedule surgery. Source: Happened last week for my patient.
MOTHERFUCKINGBIRDJESUS
Maybe she was in the ER and needed the transfusion so they didn't have it readily available.
cluckythehorse
or maybe its the internet
InstructionsUnclearSummonedCthulhu
This was my guess.
Gnashvegas
O- is the universal doner. Not super rare (7%), but gets used a lot if they don't know a person's blood type in emergencies.
TheBeastRabban
Doner Kebab.
CherryEmpress
But the key thing here is that while O- can be given to anyone, people with O- can only receive O- blood.
SEGSan
I think most hospitals/blood banks have at least a bit O-, especially if they have a trauma bay.
