It was only my second BBTS meeting and it was very good. My memory of the scientific part will, I'm afraid, blur in years to come, but I bet I'll always remember the time I got to say hi to Malcolm in the flesh.
Thank you, Malcolm. Neither was the OB/gyn specialist now working at our serology lab aware of any K immunisations by platelets only. Also, she knew of no recommendations or policies which would limit fertile women to K negative platelets.
We've been handing out K negative reds for girls and fertile women for quite a while now, but haven't limited platelets. Like you said, not knowing doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but at least we're in good company in not knowing.
