He is a member of my club then as I too was born with a rare group plus a a lack antigen D which means my donations were deeply sought after as only about 20% of my group lack the D- To prevent unwanted transfusion reactions and production of alloantibody, Rh D negative girls and women of child bearing potential should not be transfused with Rh D positive red cells except in an emergency.
There were some other properties that made mine highly sought after, but I canāt remember what those were as I no longer visit due to my age.
As a PS ā¦ I bet those who do not donate would be a grateful recipient if a transfusion proved to be needed. Which of course would involve the needles they claim to live in fear of; double standards IMO

Said. āSling yer Hook Sunshine. We are already drowning in. Too Much BLUE Bloodā.
Well done Didi donating blood is such a valuable act. I donated for years and got a little badge to say thank you .
I had to stop donating when I became ill and needed a permanent cocktail of horrible drugs .
I used to enjoy going, it was a break from a busy life when I could lay back and meditate for a little while before having tea and biscuits and a chat with some lovely people.
Good luck Didi
My first was in late 60s or early 70s and Iām still donating. My next one is December 15th.
Iāve also donated platelets and plasma when I could. I donāt like needles either
A blood transfusion helped to save my life! I had an ectopic pregnancy. My fallopian tube burst, and blood spilled out into my gut. Doc said that Iād had only thirty minutes more of life if I had waited much longer than I did to go to him to find out why I had unexplained pain in my side. THANKYOU BLOOD DONERS!
Years ago I wanted to give blood, so went to Red Cross Day.
I have always had trouble with blood tests, as my veins are so small.
Well, me taking a table, them trying to insert the needle, thenā¦waiting patiently for the draw to produce enough to get the bag 2/3 full so it is usableā¦
Three people came and went on the table beside me, and me taking up spaceā¦so I felt it was a public service for me NOT to donate blood and allow others to give three pints to my one. It was my contribution
