But for some,whose illness has no cure and that last battle theyface just can’t be won, a blood transfusion can helpto improve their quality of life during their finalmonths, weeks or even days.DID YOU KNOW?The first successful blood transfusion was carried out in 1665 by Dr Richard Lower. He used dogs as the donor andrecipient. However, when they started performing transfusions on humans, they couldn't understand why the peoplereceiving the blood kept dying. It wasn't until 1900 that Dr Karl Landsteiner discovered the ABO blood group system andrealised that human patients needed to be given compatible blood. He received the Nobel Prize for his discovery.source: www.blood.co.uk/about-bloodSeedlink July - October, 200947.
