Does anyone know who makes the below blood type patch? Saw it at a gun show a while back but the vendor didn't have my type. Been looking everywhere but can't find it.
Originally posted by Seamus: To the best of my knowledge, you'll be given O-negative if any at all. No need for the patch.
As I recall when I asked about the patches, the head of a major trauma center told me something similar.
I didn’t, however, ask what might happen in a mass casualty incident when there was no more O-negative blood available because it had been given to everyone before me, but some of my specific different type might still be on hand.
Yes, I fully realize that such a thing is unlikely, but it’s not impossible, and I always find it interesting to see what assumptions people make about exactly how things will play out in unpredictable events.
