Walking Blood Bank

Published by JPJenkins at 11:38 am under Al Taqaddum, Health, Injured

A Walking blood bank is when we call for everyone with a specific blood type to immediately donate due to someone being seriously wounded and near death.

Earlier today an Iraqi police officer took a few rounds to the chest and was rushed into our surgical center here on TQ. Lacking O+ blood they sent out an emergency message.

The blood bank needed 9 donors and within minutes (literally) they had 30 or so Marines show up. Not to sound dark but it was an awesome sight to see so many Marines running to the blood bank to give life to someone they probably have never met.

Unfortunately, a few minutes ago they asked for O+ again and being a “quite” day one can only assume it’s for the same fellow.
