BOF Posted November 24, 2006 Moderator Share Posted November 24, 2006 I don't know mine. It's something I've often wondered, and something I suppose (unless I donate) I hope I never NEED to know. Most of my friends know their blood group. One of them has a really rare blood type and is regularly called upon to donate platelets 'n sh1t. I presume I'm in the minority in not knowing, so, do you know yours ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahamaad Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I don't know either and its not something you need to know unless you need a blood transfusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villab0y Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I know, but only cause it becme a subject when the missus was preggers, she's rhesus negative which could have caused problems etc, so I found out mine. Otherwise I wouldn't have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 24, 2006 Author Moderator Share Posted November 24, 2006 I don't know either and its not something you need to know unless you need a blood transfusion. Well I have to say if I'd put money on ONE person knowing theirs it would've been you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzel Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I used to, when I worked in a factory I used to give blood regularly as you got 30 mins to an hour off work with free tea and biscuits! But since then I've not donated, to my shame! I probably expect that if I am ever in need of blood I would not be in a fit state to tell any medical personnel my blood group, and that they would actually test for my blood group before giving a transfusion. I'm probably wrong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurzel Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 You 'used' to know ?? Have you forgotten or changed it ? Forgotten, through the ravages of time, and if you've read any of my posts, a limited mental capacity means I can only retain essential information! :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Think mine is B or B+ or something like that. Dunno if that says anything to you foreign fellas though. Apparantly it was rare, so they adviced me not to get a massive blood loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villain Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 A RH Positive, I donate every 12 weeks, my brother had a very serious operation and had to be given a lot of blood when younger so it is my way of giving something back. Every person who is able should donate you never know, one day yourself or a member of your family might need it and it does not hurt, I go after work.

blandy Posted November 24, 2006 Moderator Share Posted November 24, 2006 I know mine. If you are in the Armed forces it's recorded on your ID card, and though I left a good while ago it's not that hard to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
