    I've contacted everyone in the dumaguete blood database this morning. I only have 11 people with A+ blood though. I just sent a follow up text too.

    I am curious what percentage of blood donations are actually tested. Hopefully 100%!

    I'm now and "Old guy"...almost 81. I have A+...I had been advised I am too old to donate due to possible heart issues arising. I also told them I had dormant HepC - that in itself will not allow a donation....sorry. Don

    Sounds like it could be one of two things: The hospital admits the guy and not initially knowing if blood will be needed so request a just-in-case supply; or uses the situation to build their blood inventory. A few of us went through a miserable process at Silliman Hospital when Jellyfish needed blood and they were out of stock.

    Went to Silliman 20 minutes ago. Found Steve Belinkoff on second floor. Went to nurses station and asked if I could donate blood for SB. Told them my situation as per previous reply, where they told me that the doctor had seen SB but has not requested blood. I'm alittle confused, or is it just the wife panicking. Have emailed his wife, but no reply.
