Comment: I understand how difficult having O- blood is, as I have it too and had to donate blood to myself ahead of time in order to have a surgery. So I called the hospital hoping to help that poor stabbing victim, only to be asked why I was calling so late - 4:15pm on a Friday. I confirmed I was calling a hospital and explained that I had just seen the article with the family asking for blood donations. I would like make one and would like to schedule an appointment to do so. I was told no one was available after 4 and that only a lab technician would be in on Saturday. I reiterated that I wanted to donate blood for a patient there, weren't they taking any, and all I got was silence. So I just said I'd try back on Monday and hung up. I think the family of this young man should be aware that their pleas are being answered, but we're not really getting through. I can only hope that this meant that young Mr. Henry is doing better. I also really hope I never get ill here, particularly on a Friday/weekend. How scary. |
