That's easily fixable with a diamond point and a cleverly placed line

Or a simply HUGE dose of green coffee beans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something similar happened at my workplace...a student rotating through the blood bank asked a coworker if her blood type was possible. She was certain her father was AB+ (he was frequently in the hospital), while she herself was O=. My coworker was stunned but managed to get out that blood types could be complicated and anything was possible.

The father could have been AB cis.

oups I see Malcolm already answered, its early morning.......

FYI, we have had many instances that mililtary personal in the US are typed as Rh= and they are indeed Rh+. I would take the husband's type with a grain of salt if the same lab is not testing the husband and the child. I personally have issues with believing what type someone is if they were not tested in my lab....

bduff, I fully agree. I wanted to call them BUT what if that was not the father so I did not offer.

You've lost me there... Never heard that one before. Off to consult Professor Google and Dr Wiki.

"To change type B RBCs to type O RBCs: α-galactosidase from green coffee beans was used to remove a sugar molecule from the surface of type B cells, turning them into type O cells. "

I seem to remember reading an article about a woman who was a DNA chimera, all of her tissue typed with one DNA profile except her thyroid and her ovaries. As long as we are talking about zebras instead of horses...
