A Patient Answers ^Why Donate Blood?'
BY A UNIVERSITY H08PITAJL, PATIENT
The question "Why should I give blood?" is not often posted by people today. They realize the need for this life sustaining substance in our hospitals and they recognize that they are the only source.
However, these same people do not realize In what quan¬ tities this precious commodity, is used. Being a hemophiliac myself, I am in a position to present such Information so that
you might better luiderstand the need for fresh whole blood and In turji, the need for or¬ ganized "blood drives" with which to secure this blood.
The tenth floor ot the Ohio State University Hospital Is used mainly for the treatment of ailments of the blood. On this one floor alone, over 200 units of blood are used In one day,
 In the entire hospital the
figure is over 500 units of blood per day. Considering that Columbus has five major hos¬ pitals, we come to the staggering figure of 2500 units of blood that are used every day.,
What does this mean to you? Well, simple calculation wiil show that 500,000 pints of blood are used In Columbus every year. To supply this amount, every man, woman and child In Columbus would have to donate one pint per year. Since only adults may give blood, we find that each adult would have to donate two pints of blood per year.
. How many people do you know who have given two pints of blood in the past twelve months? 1 think that you can now begin to see the responsibility that has been placed upon you. You must take up some of the slack. We need blood — so much blood — and you are the only ones who may give it. It is not your neighbor, or your luicle, but YOU who must give. Are numbers not enough to stimulate you? Well, then, come with me to the 10th floor of University Hospital for a quick "look around." That i-oom at the end of the corridor Is the home-away-from-home for the cutest little blonde girl you have ever seen. Without dally tfansfiislons she and the six other leukemia victims down the hall could not survive a week.
Across the way from her lies a man with dread Hodgkin's disease. Without your help he might never see his children again. And down the hall a little further, a fellow hemophiliac is \valking again for the first Ume in a month. Your 100 pints of blood turned the trick for him.
Your blood can keep two people alive. So, the next time you are asked to give blood, please take a half an hour of your time to give a pint of your blood. You can be sure that we who need it will be forever grateful to you for your gener¬ osity.
Blood Day is Oct 31 at the Jewish Center starting at noon.
