A VERY good friend of mine, Phil Learoyd, has just started up a new site devoted to the history of blood transfusion. I've had a brief look at it, and it looks to be fantastic, and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in the subject.

 

It can be found on https://www.historyofbloodtransfusion.co.uk/

Awesome site Malcolm. I was just reading the 1668 letter Acton, G. (1668) Physical reflections upon a letter written by J. Denis, professor of philosophy and mathematicks, to Monsieur de Montmor, counsellor to the French King, and Master of Requests concerning a new way of curing sundry diseases by transfusion of blood. London. Early English Books Online Text Creation Partnership. https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo/A26307.0001.001?rgn=main;view=fulltext.

Wow! How far transfusion medicine has come. I am glad I was born in the 20th century instead of the 17th century.

Thanks Cliff!
