Blood, we all need it but apparently not enough is being given. Or is it, because what I heard the other day made me think.
In an office of approx 200 people, give or take, an enterprising member of staff decided to contact everyone to see what response he would get about giving blood. Now given the reluctance a lot of people have about giving blood, a take up of 71 people was a good one.
Not good enough apparently
When he contacted the Blood Donation people and told them he had 71 people wanting to give blood the response he got was surprising to say the least.
Unfortunately they couldn’t send a mobile unit because there was not enough people. Hmm.
Now I don’t know a lot about blood donation but I would have thought that 71 pints of blood would be welcome plus the possibility of setting up a regular visit, but who am I.
Perhaps someone with a bit of knowledge on the subject could help me understand what the problem is. If they do I will publish their response and if the reason is a good one I will apologise.
