Do we have enough blood in our hospitals?

i guess what the husband was most unhappy about is not so much on the quota.. but the fact that after he had gathered his relatives.. the staff refused to open the door.. cos its not the opening hours yet.........

in an emergency... what is of importance to the hospital staff.. it seems.. is to stick by the operating hours.. and not be flexible enuff to weigh the importance of the whole situation...

regardless if the wife could be saved by the blood transfusion or not.. we need to question... in an emergency... should we be so rigid ? I would like to see what the relevant authorities / parties have to say about this...
 

No I don't. But I am not jumping to conclusions and crucifying people in a vacuum of knowledge.
So? You want a plague of honourable mentioning of how great and just you are? :dunno:

Hope someone would not cover their backside.
 

I think what this incident is teaching us, made sure u have alot of relatives on standby and at least a few bags of blood from your own supply on stand by.

I think if i ever need to go for an operation, i will inform ALL of my frens, relatives and all i know are of my blood group on standby, just in case.

Of course all of us would like to donate blood regularly, unfortunately not all of us are in the right health state to be donating.

i think the report gives a rather balanced view. The history given is typical of that of placenta previa, and the cause of death is now revealed to be cardio-respiratory failure pending investigation, and not just heart failure. ( on a side note, every single person on earth dies of cardio-repiratory failure. ie: ur heart stops)

Facts are presented without any conclusions drawn. As with all such incidents, the initial report is very often one sided, and is the emotional story of someone who may not have a complete understanding of the situation.

The blood bank has been appealing for donations all year long, but how many people donate blood regularly ? Give it some thought. If more Singaporeans answer the call, wouldnt it make things better ? ;)
