- MrJagil 12y agoYeah, in the bottom it says "name changed" so I assume the anonymity resulted in an overdose of stock photos.
- puzzlingcaptcha 12y agoEach photo is credited to the photographer listed at the end of the article, so I am not sure what your point is. They were likely all taken at IBGRL, mentioned in the text.
- niels_olson 12y agoTo me, sitting in a blood bank, those photos are organized to reinforce the problem of just how many units you have to screen when someone with a rare blood type shows up. What you do is take blood from one of about 10 small testing segments and mix it with the recipient's serum. If it clots or hemolyzes, that's bad. That's the most elementary method of crossmatching units, and it's often still done just before sending a unit out, because the blood's there to be tested, might as well.
