    Also, emergency and operating departments have little machines that tell you your blood type within moments. They will still send your blood off for a full cross match but it is suffice for those situations where we need to know and "need to know yesterday".


    But good on you for thinking about this Netix.

    Thanks MG. And I didn't know about those fancy-pants machines. They sound very useful!

    Would you believe my whole family is O-, I am, DH is and all 4 boys are I was always lead to believe that O- is the universal blood, it can be given to anybody if there blood type is unknown, or their type of blood is unavailable.

    Must say I hadn't really thought about having an alert, I will be making sure all boys know what there bloody type is, DH didn't find out until about 2 years ago.
