Tim,
That is amazing.  Won't happen here, unfortunately, at least not just yet.
See you next week!

Nobody - just be nice to your blood bank services. We can get up to 6
whole blood per acute patient here in South Africa. After that we go to
component.

All our blood is "fresh" - with out trauma loads nothing lasts past 5-7
days in storage!
