Blood Transfusion
This technique of transferring blood from a healthy donor to a patient saves many lives. Operations, once impossible, can be performed with relative safety, and accident cases, perhaps bleeding after childbirth, have a better chance of recovery, as have some kinds of anemia; “Blood banks” are kept to be readily available in emergency, and giving blood for transfusions safe, and simple. Everyone who is healthy and not in a risk group for A.I.D.S. should volunteer. (See BLOOD GROUPS and A.I.D.S.) Blue Baby.
