Just to clarify, this is correct, the anti-E antibody itself is relatively rare. Finding E negative blood however, which is what you need to do to provide compatible blood for transfusion, is not a major problem as approximately 52% of the Australian population are E negative - sourced from the Australian Red Cross Blood Service website.
Yeah! I was just told that as it "avoids any future potential mix ups" like the one that caused my Antibody in the first place. It actually does kind of upset me because I remember they took blood to do a FBC before the transfusion (as if I hadnt just hemorrhaged enough all over the bed) and still got it wrong. It could well have been my hospital covering its backside again.
