    Canadian here. Lived in Australia for ten years. I'm A- so kind of rare but can be swapped for other types so not so bad. Was donating blood a lot there, and one day I got a call. Turns out as I was Canadian I hadn't had some typical Australian disease that created a dangerous condition for babies receiving blood. Since I wasn't Australian they wanted my blood for a baby that was in need of an operation. So as soon as I donated, the blood was off to the hospital. It was the first time in my donating history that I felt a real connection to a donor, and it drove home how important blood donation was.

    I'm an RN and I have heard of rh null before, but this is the best YT video I have seen with the most information. RH null is so fascinating but so difficult for those who have it. I admire those who donate and don't blame those who don't. I have never received a transfusion but think of all the units I've given over my career, I have no idea how many. I worked in ICU and trauma, so lots. My deep thanks to the donors, you have made a real difference in people's lives.

    I’m O-Positive. I started donating blood the day I turned 16. With various pauses I have donated over my entire life. I’m 60 now. I have given both whole blood and platelets since the age of 20. My beef with giving platelets is that if you give two units of platelets at a time, it only counts as one donation. 3-4 hours on the machine for 1 donation. It should count as two. Most of my platelet donations have been doubles where I’ve matched a patient needing platelets. It gets a tad bit irritating when you spend so much time and don’t get the proper credit for your time. They should at least credit you properly two for two.

    I'm A-, and as such my red cells are high demand. So high, they always do what is called a double red donation. They hook you up to a machine just like what is used for dialysis and just keep the red cells, returning everything else, plus adding saline to make up for volume lost. To do a double red, your hemoglobin count needs to be over 14.8, preferably closer to 16. You can only donate every 4 months and every 4 donations you need to skip the next 2 before being able to donate again. Even with the high hemoglobin count, it takes a lot out of you and can take 2 to 3 weeks before you feel back to normal. It's recommended to binge on high iron foods for up to a week before and at least 5 days after donating a double.

      I have a rare blood type, not Rh Null rare, but rare. I know this because I was on call with the local hospital in the UK as a blood donor. I wasn't called often but they were quite desperate when they called. I moved to Canada and they US and I'm considered a risk for being a carrier of Creutzfeld-Jacobs Disease (human variant of mad cow disease) because I lived the UK prior 1997. So I'm now potentially someone who could need a donor of my blood type but not allowed to donate blood anymore. When I go home to England, I often donate there still. At least someone will take my blood.

    Almost 60 years ago, when I was an infant, I needed AB- blood. A man came from halfway across Texas to where I was in the hospital in Houston, to donate for me. I wouldn't be alive and enjoying my first grandchild, if it hadn't been for that man.
    To those who've commented that my blood donor driving across Texas in 1963 was ridiculous, since AB- can receive A-, B- or 0-, my mom said that the doctors insisted on it because I have some sort of weird antigen or factor, and that as I'd nearly died several times during those 6 weeks, "close enough" wasn't something they were willing to risk.

      I hope you're son does well with his post-transplant recovery! I am a BMT survivor (had mine 12 years ago) and also had severe Aplastic Anemia. I was also AB+ and needed platelets about every week and blood every other week. Tried the immune-suppressant therapy first. Turns out, I had a secondary illness called PNH, which was why the immune-suppressant therapy didn't work, and it was attempted twice. Got my marrow from a stranger, though, because no-one in my family was a match. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to donate anything due to said transplant, otherwise I would be donating, as my blood type changed to A- (Bone-Marrow match-ups are according to certain genetic strands in the immune system and not blood types. Even if it was via blood type, I was the only one in my family with AB+ blood).
      Another funny thing is, my transplant also happened in February. Funny how the universe works, isn't it?

    Years ago I worked as a Cardiovascular Unit nurse. We admit patients scheduled for bypass. We have a checklist we follow to make sure the surgery goes smoothly the next day (usually, these patients come in a day prior to the procedure). Loads of stuff we have to do; making sure they have all the blood works done, their medications and history properly listed, ECG and other test results ready at hand (especially the copy of their recent angiogram!), inform all the doctors that are going to be involved that the patient has arrived so they can all do their rounds before the actual procedure (mind you, there are LOADS. They will have a complete line-up including the cardiothoracic surgeon, the cardiologist, the cardiologist who will perform the intra-op transoesophageal echocardiogram (TEE), a pulmonologist, a nephrologist… you name it. Not to mention, they will immediately go to CCU post-op so they will be under the care of an intensivist too). Besides these, we have to complete the necessary paperwork and phone calls. The most important is making sure that we inform the lab and ask them to prepare 4 units each of PRBC, FFP, and platelets. CABG is a big surgery, so those units are just the required BARE minimum.
    I admitted a patient for said CABG procedure and I was working nights. Working a night shift with a pre-op CABG patient is pretty hectic because you’re tasked to make sure that everything is complete. One of those things is making certain the 4 units of each blood product required are complete and reserved for the patient that night.
    This patient of mine came in and my whole night had been non-stop phone calls and updates from the lab. He’s O- and his blood type was so rare that the lab couldn’t complete his blood units on time. The procedure was then cancelled because we couldn’t find the rest in time for the CABG. I remember getting so tensed throughout the shift just wishing they’d find him more blood.
    But life works in mysterious ways. It was his saving grace. The holding of the procedure saved his life. Turns out, the morning he was supposed to have the bypass, he suffered a stroke. I distinctly remember passing by his room and apologising we couldn’t get his blood on time, and him still being light-hearted about it. I also distinctly remember, as I was on my way out of the hospital, I heard the hospital speaker system saying “Brain Attack Team to CVU, now”. Turns out, he was that patient.
    Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps. Imagine if we got the blood and he underwent the procedure that day, he would have suffered a stroke on the table and most likely he wouldn’t have survived.
    After the stroke, he stayed in the hospital for more rehab until it was safe for him to get the bypass. I am pleased to say he survived. ❤

    Having work for the Red Cross in the blood distribution, I would love to see a further video on the difference between packed cells, serum, and derivatives such as platelets. I think people would be interested in that. And that you can donates only red cells are only platelets without losing your own blood volume. And platelets are definitely needed as they have a pretty short lifespan outside the body. Platelets are basically your clotting factors in your blood that keep you from bleeding out if you get cut. So you can see how important they are in surgeries.

    My daughter has this blood type. 😔 We discovered this when she was only a few months old and took really sick. The doctor's had her in a sterile room that you could only enter with a full sterile suit, glove's, and foot covers. Once they discovered her blood type, they immediately placed her on double vitamin's. And now that she's grown, she has to give blood to the bank near her every month. At the time, 2003- it was stated that there were only 7 other ppl in the world with her exact blood type and it's kept in a vault. This woman is NOT joking. My daughter can only receive blood from a direct match. Till this day I have no clue how she ended up with golden blood. She's my only daughter, and she's vowed that she won't ever give me any grand children. The doctor's told her that her body will attack the embryo. I've volunteered to carry my grandchild for my daughter so that she would be able to still have a chance at motherhood. 😔She turned me down. I've been blessed to have a beautiful lil girl who can donate to anyone but sadly can't recieve it from just anyone. 😢

      Dr. Cynthia Mann shut her down very quickly by explaining that not only did it come from the male's side but that it's was possible for 2 children to have the same parents and have different blood types. Something else I'd learned. Because of her rh I've secretly always loved her a little more than the norm. I have 5 emperor's & just the 1 Empress . I love them all. It's just something about knowing what your baby will be facing even when she's all grown up that makes you wanna love a little harder.
      I really would like for her to be able to experience motherhood, as it really does make a better individual out of you. However, I respect her decision and accept her plant babies as my grands. Stay amazing ! And thank you again

    I hated my early life because of having this blood type. Never allowed to do anything that had any risk of injury. Had an aunt who would babysit me as often as possible so she could sell my blood without my parents knowledge. Any doctor visits usually had staff lie to my parents and take blood for bogus tests. I did at least luck out with having several mutations that let's me heal ridiculously fast and my blood cells are pretty robust and can donate frequently. To my parents dismay I love riding motorcycles and a friend I was riding with crashed. We were far away from any major hospital and he needed blood because he lost so much in the accident. This little emergency place had no means to get any so I broke my rules of not staying quiet about who I was (nulls are very known to the relevant people) and donated to help him. His was fairly rare itself and no one present could help. I am basically on call for my blood but I do answer that call whenever possible because so few can. It was a curse but later in life it became a blessing at least to me.

      You are probably thinking of James Harrison. A lot of media picked up his story when he retired from donating plasma for a specialist Australian Lifeblood programme. He did not have Rhnull blood but was RhD negative with a high titre of antibodies to D. His plasma was pooled with similar others to make anti-D (RhoGAM in US). Plasma can be donated by apheresis every two weeks, as the plasma is removed and the red cells returned so no loss of iron. The donation interval for whole blood donations is a lot longer bcause the lost iron has to be recouped. People who are Rh negtive are absent their D antigen (and a few others) but have other Rh antigens whereas people who are Rhnull are absent all of Rh antigens, currently known 56. To be Rhnull is very rare but amongst whites being Rh negative is common, an average frequency in that population of 17%.

When I moved away from the location that handled these transfusions well I could not find another. It became a true hassle. I never understood why one institution could handle blood donation so conveniently when most others make it a royal pain. I now donate whole blood when I see the mobile blood drives and have the time. But it is only once or twice a year at best.

    I recieved donated blood during a transfusion in 2003. I had suffered an excruciating miscarriage and was hemorrhaging after being sent home from hospital. I went back and was on the verge of death when they finally agreed to sedste me and do a d&c to remove the massive clot that had formed. I remember hearing my heart beating and feeling my pulse througjout my entire body. The next time I got pregnant, they found irregular antibodies in my blood from the previous transfusion. The doctors kept a close eye on it through the pregnancy but luckily everything went smoothly and my beautiful daughter was born perfectly healthy. She is 18yrs old now and in college. Im forever grateful for that blood!❤

    • @GerryMatthews-jk5pd

      But AB plasma can go to anyone because no A and B antibodies, it is our red cells that are AB only. Blood is divided after collection into components of red cells, platelets and plasma. However, plasma from females doesn't go for clinical use because we develop antibodies whilst pregnant that can cause a serious transfusion reaction, the transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI).

    They only discuss Antigen D and Rh Null in the video, but the Rh factor disease newborns can experience causing them to often need to have a complete transfer of blood, can happen in other antigens. I am A- (missing the D antigen). However, I may also have a missing E antigen, as my daughter is A+, but was still sensitized by the time of her 4th pregnancy by the missing E antigen. Her baby had Rh factor disease, with dying blood cells because her sensitized cells had passed the placental membrane. He lived under the special light, received numerous units of blood, and when he was six months old had to finally have all of his blood replaced.

    While this all may be true in theory, in a real world trauma center blood compatibility plays out a bit different.
    Patients consuming large volumes of blood and blood products are put on a trauma protocol (so one patient doesn’t consume a whole hospital’s blood supply).
    The O- trauma patient will start receiving A+ blood (if there is no detected reaction in the lab). It’s just how hospitals work.

I kept telling him after I was born my parents were told A+. I kinda fought him on this til he told me he has a gut feeling that my parents (who were there with me at this appointment) and I were told wrong. My mother than told me to get it done and it doesn't hurt anything (My mother is a big believer in listening to gut feelings). I did the test and boy do I owe him for pushing me, because it saved my daughters life. When my Doc came back out, he pulled my parents and I in a private office and revealed that I am O-. My parents were mortified (lots hugs and sorries were given after the app.) and my Doc then told me I had to get the Rh immunoglobulin shot. For those who don't know you get this shot to prevent my neg blood from possibly hurting/killing my baby if she is born positive, and as luck would have it, she is A+. My husband is A+. So when pregnant and not sure what your blood type is, or if your obgyn has a gut feeling, get your blood tested.

      According to the chart in the video, about 1/3 of the way in, O+ is only good for other + blood types. Try having O-. EVERYONE can take your blood, but the ONLY blood type you can receive is O-. That is why O- is the universal donor. AB+ is the Universal receiver.

    I am O neg and used to donate all the time. It made me feel good. Then almost 4 years ago I developed metastatic thyroid cancer and another rare cancer, basically of the white blood cells. The doctors have told me I can never donate blood again or an organ donor. This makes me very say. But the blood donation center won’t get it through their head that I cannot donate and continue to call me. I have explained the situation and ask to be removed from their list. They always apologize and say they will do it…but they don’t. It kills me just a little more everyday I get those calls and have to explain it all over again. Thank you to those who can still donate.

    I’m alive today because of blood transfusions. I’m a two time survivor of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma which is a type of blood cancer and I needed so many transfusions to beat the cancer that I lost count. I want to donate blood and other blood products so badly, but I’m not eligible to donate blood due to having had blood cancer. Instead of being able to donate myself I became a junior ambassador for Red Cross Australia when I was in high school, in one year I was able to get around 150 people to donate blood at least once by sharing my story, having a living example of why donating blood is so important right in front of someone helped people that wouldn’t have donated because of something like a fear of needles to overcome their fear to save lives.

      I know it would mean a lot to at least 3 people (every time you donate blood it is split into three bags for donation so every time you donate you have the potential to save 3 lives), and along with those 3 people who you will have helped save, every person who loves them will be immensely grateful too.
      Wishing you all the best and thank you so much for even just taking the time to rethink if this is something you think you can do. Even if this time around you don’t make it in the door, next time you rethink it you might, and the time after that who know maybe you become a lifetime regular donor ❤️

      Trust me, they are all about you dropping everything but most wont pay a penny to help with costs. The ones who do make an attempt or even a pay schedule since I assume if I have money problems then others do too, I will at least try.
      Yeah confidential information only means that when nobody needs you.
      Seriously, pay for my medical schooling, that shits expensive (already 80k in the hole and I’m not even done first year. I also refuse to take out student loans because of the terrible student debt problem here) and I will have a lot more money to spend flying about donating blood. I want to try to make synthetic blood for nulls (so we can stop being harassed at all hours) and to relieve the burden of relying on donations. If we can make blood like we can now grow skin for grafting it has the potential to save a lot of people.

    And when giving blood consider the fact that certain areas have one blood type that is more common than others. People think that O blood is the most common. In areas such as Indiana and Illinois and I'm sure others, a positive is the most common blood type. So if you have a positive blood type and live in an area where most people have a positive blood type then you should consider giving as more people would need the blood from you.

I've struggled for a long time with taking care of myself well enough in that regard but knowing that if I get better with managing my diabetes I could donate blood and save someones life, that's very motivating.
