HELP "O" positive blood

Sorry to come late in this thread.. i am A+, just in case, if it can be helpful or exchanged, let me know??

i m planning to donate blood on coming saturday? is any one interested?

its ok speed bro, anyhow we will happy to donate wether she need or not, i think they can give O+ blood to any 1 else? so in my list still there r three persons....

My blood card from the U.S. said that I was 0 negative..Hence, I was always swamped with donation requests in my mailbox...but my Qatari ID says 0+. Maybe the same labworker ;)

baby are OK now, she said that she don't think they need more blood for her or for the baby, but they are waiting for the Doctor's advise.

They have my mobile number, they will inform me.

I had heard the problem with the low blood supply is with Hamad Hospital itself and all the road works outside. On-top of this the actual building for the blood donating is quite obscure and not many people at Hamad know where to direct you (got this from someone on my compound who donated blood over the w/end).

I believe O- is the universal donor (not both O's).

However can we have a Medical professional clarify and also an update on the person who was critically ill, thanks

i am O +ve.. lemme know if i can donate any blood..

usually they dont take from me as they want that the person shud be in qatar for a min. of 6 months.. which never happens with me.

After trying several numbers in different departments in HMC, finally I reached 'Natalie' ... I spoke to the Nurse and she mentioned to me that they are waiting for the Doctor's advise.

If they need more blood they will call me. If I receive a call, we will run 'Blood Donation' Campaign for Natalie and for others in general.

I have already donated blood few days back. I dont know how soon I can donate blood platelets again but I think I heard once that you can donate platelets after 3 days or so. Any how if they need platelets they can call me coz I have already registered my name for platelets donor long back but I never received a call.

Guys just let me know also when are you going to donate. send me an email at zaheenam/at/yahoo/dot/com

Even if you are alone and tested safe, you can easily donate your blood! Mention Natalie as an inspiration but anybody that need the O+ blood will be given. HMC just need to have more blood of any group!!!!!

Its not mobile its blood donating center that will be open till 8 o clock.. so countdown started..

okay, let's start a list........and swamp HMC with O+ blood!

Is the bloodmobile open after 6pm?

yes sohbetocean, thtz wht i was saying that we will go in group, so when u r planning, tomorrow or day after tomorrow? please also all those pplz who jave O+ can join us but day still not confirmed... time should be after 6:15 pm as my office close @ 6 o clock... so any 1 out there?

read this post a bit late...but let me know if it is still needed or if a big group of O+s want to go together tomorrow or Wed. I am game. In shaa Allah.

so why don't they give her platelets? Seems a very bizarre story to me .....No Blood! Needing transfusion after section (quite unusual!)Why is she in ICU? More info please...just out of interest....

Mani.250 good work..May god bless you for your good deed

About 50% of the population has O+ & O- blood. But because O+ & O- can be used for ALL blood types (A & B as well)they use much more of it.

So if people with A & B blood types also donate, they wont need to use as much O blood.

From my side i donated yesterday(saturday) as i said. anyhow if there will be new plan, let me know, we will all go together..

you should have contacted me on the mobile I have whole lot of Blood Donors in QLVG.

Anyhow, am also O+ ... i will call HMC now to see the status of Natalie.

God bless you for your efforts.

Why are short of blood.?

That is so difficult to believe...they've run out of blood??? Strange.....

Can anybody tell me the condition of that patient.

It will take around 30 min.

No need to give my name just go there and donate

Guess what. I have a bloodgroup card from Switzerland that says O+ and just checked my Health card on which it says O-. So now I dont know what I have. Anyway I will go tomorrow and find out! Someone made a mistake here.

omar92cs your blood group is on the back of your health card.

coolquietman the blood donation unit is OPPOSITE the multi storey car park at Hamad. First right hand turn as you come in the first Hamad gate.

O+ can recieve both O+ and O- blood.

"Every adult of sound mind, should be able to choose to do whatever they want, as long as they cause no harm to others".

Yes, O Negative is the universal donor.

Hey Doc long time no see how are you

[img_assist|nid=50852|title=hmm|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Only O positive blood types can donate to O+ types.

if you are AB+, you can receive blood from any group however.

the blood donation unit is next to the huge 4 storey car park of hmc(opp lulu).its a single storey white colour building.

i certainly appreciate anyone who offers to donate blood.well done!

do it right - the first time!

[img_assist|nid=50852|title=hmm|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

O+, which according to the Red Cross, is the most common type of blood, but one can only receive from other O donors.

I think no other blood can be donated to O +ve.

Which blood groups can donate to the O+?

Go to Hamad Hospital and you will be guided to the blood donation unit I am not sure exactly where in HGH sorry

[img_assist|nid=50852|title=hmm|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

britexpat please take me also with you.

PM me where to go and I will donate..

Sure, its no problem for me.

sulmansaeed - go and donate some blood and you'll be spared!

Mine is 'O' Positive.
