It scares me when I think about how often I've heard the "just give me O Negs" out of a doc's mouth when they don't want to wait for screened units. If someone ever does come up with a way to strip off all those antigens, they will be very wealthy. On a lighter note, back in my chem days we were having a problem with a 24 hour urine collection. It came down 3 times, all significantly less than a 24 hour collection. When we talked to the doc, he said with a totally straight face "The patient can't hold it for 24 hours."
