Receiving blood during surgery | Arthritis Information

Share
 

I saw an ortho surgeon a few days ago and he mentinoned that I might need some blood during the surgery.  When I asked if it would be alright for my mother to give me some of her blood he said that she couldn't.  I'm a laboratory tech. student and we have gone over the whole ABO & Rh grouping thing so I know about that.  (anyway mom is A+ just like me)  I've also seen some of the mistakes made by fellow students and am more than a little uneasy about receiving blood banked donor blood.  Should I be worried or is it just last minute jitters before surgery??

Thanks

Bob
