For some of our patients due to the nature of their surgery, they need blood. Our blood bank is ‘walking’ as it is the crew – we volunteer – are tested and prepared to donate. Last Friday afternoon, I received an urgent call from the lab asking if I would donate a unit. A woman with a large tumor protruding from her neck was in the operating room, but she was needing blood and we have the same type A +. In the photo is my friend Mike O. as he donates.
