How Many of You Have Had Your Life Saved by a Doctor?

@Amish Heart me too. My husband was too. I thought if you’re A- you ARE rh negative. Some of our kids are all over the place with blood types. Weird. We are the blood parents of all of them.

I'm O- So everybody wants my blood. But nobody can give me blood (except another O- person). Since they can give O- to anybody in an emergency, it runs out. Which sucks for me, since that's the only kind I can receive. Oh well - it's better to give than to receive they say. I might question that in this case however!

I would also like to add that I am eternally grateful to the 3 people that donated the blood that they shot into me that saved my life.
I don't know what 'flavors' they used, but it worked!
And yes, even to this day, I always harass everybody I know to donate blood whenever I see the Blood-mobile bus.
If you see one, stop in. There is a greater than 50% chance that you will save somebody's life.

I would expect that they hold on to the O blood because it is so useful and use up the stuff that can only go to one or two types. Saving the O- makes more sense to me. You should be fine.
