Thumbs up Surgeon stops surgery to donate own blood to patient!

Quote:
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - A top New York heart surgeon who was doing a mercy-mission operation on an 8-year-old boy in El Salvador had to scrub out in the middle of the procedure so he could donate his own rare-type blood to the patient.

Dr. Samuel Weinstein said he had his blood drawn, ate a Pop-Tart, returned to the operating table and watched as his blood helped the boy survive the complex surgery.

Full Story

Hmmm, I'm B(-)ve.

Maybe I ought to donate more often, yeah?

I thought it was a nice story
