Admin if this is in the wrong place please move...

THIS IS A HUMANITARIAN REQUEST.

THERE IS AN URGENT NEED FOR BLOOD TYPE A NEG. AN AMERICAN IS IN THE HOSPITAL REQUIRING HEART SURGERY AND IT CANNOT BE PERFORMED UNTIL AN ADEQUATE BACK UP SUPPLY OF A NEG IS ON HAND. DUE TO RED CROSS REGULATIONS IF YOU HAVE NOT DONATED IN THAILAND BEFORE YOUR 55TH BIRTHDAY, YOU ARE INELIGLBLE TO DONATE IN THIS MATTER. SO I AM ASKING THAT ANYONE WHO HAS A NEG BLOOD TYPE TO PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A DONATION TO HELP SAVE THIS MAN.

PLEASE MAKE YOUR BLOOD DONATION AT THE RED CROSS NATIONAL BLOOD CENTER ON HENRI DUNANT IN THE NAME OF KURT R FARNHAM AT PRARAM 9 HOSPITAL. THAT WAY YOUR DONATION CAN BE EARMARKED FOR HIM.

I apologize for all the caps and apparent shouting.

Is there an easy way to figure out what bloodtype one has?

This may be better in General for wider coverage.

Patient appears to be in Bangkok.

And I've edited the thread title for clarity.

If you go to donate blood, they will test you both for blood type and hemoglobin/hct (anemia) and tell you the results.

I'm not in Thailand at the moment so unfortunately cannot help. I am A negative though and was wondering where the best place to donate is when I'm next over?

Best of luck to Mr Farnham

I am in Thailand, I'm 48, I have AB neg blood, I have never donated blood in Thailand before, would that work? If so I'm happy to assist. Please advise.

Anyone with RH 0- would also be able to donate, of course they would already know that.

A bunch of off topic, bickering posts removed, let's stay on the subject matter please.

I'm A, but I can't remember if pos or neg and my blood donor card is back in my home country.

But, I'm under 55, so I'm ineligible regardless? I don't understand that rule.

Rules for donating blood in NZ include ineligibility if you have slept with a prostitute in the last 6 months, had a tattoo in the last 6 months, or been in the UK in the last 12 years, but they don't ask that you be over a certain age.

(Over 18, of course).

Thank you all for your willingness to assist.

The age 55 thing is totally confusing to me but as I understand it IF IF IF you have donated before age 55 HERE IN THAILAND, you are still elgible to donate. Once you reach 70 they will take your donation regardless of circumstances.

According to the MDs, we can only accept A Neg blood and that others will not work. I can't say why as I am not a doctor.

People in other locales like the gentleman in Sukhothai...There should be a donation location in every province BUT this is Thailand. Please check with a hospital in your area. Thank you, Kelvin.

Thank you again to all for your willingness to help. It is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Good afternoon all,

I have just been informed that an adequate supply of blood has been garnered to perform the surgery.

Mr. Farhnam and I are grateful for any and all who donated or attempted to donate on his behalf. Thank you again.

This problem frequently arises with foreigners, and the supply of all type of RH neg blood is always limited in Thailand so anyone with RH neg blood - A neg, B neg, RH neg or O neg - would be doing a great service to donate periodically.

Thai Red Cross accepts donations in every province.
