Reply to "Can this surgery be done without giving blood transfusions?"

Well, the thing is that once it is designated, it is designated, and does not go through the same rigors. Plus, say you were able to give it away, and the next day something happened that you needed a transfusion? You'd be up **** creek. Happened to me. The day after my designated blood was tossed, I needed a transfusion. But, I wasn't up any creek, I just used anonymous donor blood. I was fine.
