Blood Donation

Raven BDC donated a bottle of type A blood at November 23rd 2007. The patient was a 82-years-old male from Asia Royal Hospital. He lives in Pazuntaung Township, Yangon. He was suffering from Liver cirrhosis. We also donated one O type blood at October for this same patient.

At November 22nd, the guardian asked for a bottle of O type blood in the morning asking for the donor to be present at Asia Royal Hospital for blood testings. So, we looked for a donor and went to the hospital with a member at 7:30 PM. A sample of blood was taken out to test for blood type and diseases. As usual, the blood results were to be out the next day. Therefore, we sent the donor home that day.

On November 23rd 12:00 noon, the results were out already. We took the donor to Asia Royal hospital and had to wait there for sometime for whatever the reason that we didn't know. We felt as if we were ignored intentionally for no reason. The blood donor should be acknowledged as an important person since he/she's is not a patient, and plays a critical role in saving the patient's life. Finally at 2 PM, the blood transfusion started. It ended at 2:30 PM. Raven BDC sent the donor home and we reached our domain by 3 PM.
