In my opinion, all components from this donation should be considered non-conforming and discarded. The donor has demonstrated that they are an unreliable historian and who knows what other questions were not answered truthfully! For this reason, the donor should also be permanently deferred and any prior donations from this individual recalled. More significantly, since it appears there was willful disregard to follow required policies and procedures when approving individuals for donation, ALL products from all donors qualified by this doctor should also be recalled/withdrawn. Willful disregard to followed required policies and procedures would generally be considered grounds for termination.

Just had a FANTASTIC time at the BBTS ASM, where I learned so much. The highlight for me was listening to Marion Reid giving her James Blundell Award lecture (amongst many other excellent lectures) and having her sign my copy of the FactsBook! The attached photograph shows her talking to Martin Bruce OBE, the BBTS President. The other photograph shows some old fool relaxing after the lectures!! Worked hard - played hard - now exhausted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally agree SMW - although I have more sympathy with the donor (who may have been mistaken, or not understood the rules) than the doctor.

"When i say they brought it back to the blood bank, they walked into the blood bank but my tech did not take the blood, the nurse had the blood when he walked in, and it never left his hand and he took it back to the floor." Keep in mind that I am a cranky old Blood Banker, , but if that unit came back in someone's hands and had been spiked, I would not let them leave with it. Like the seagulls in the film "Finding Nemo" MINE!!! Beth
