The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1953-08-13

DR. Feaster: Nobody ever pays
for blood collected under the Red
Cross national blood program. Not
one cent.
Frances: Sometimes you hear ru-
mors that somebody paid for Red
Cross blood-or that some soldier
in Korea had TO pay for blood or
blood plasma.
DR. Feaster: Such stories are
false l know they crop up every
once in a while. AT one time after
World War II these stories became
so persistent that the President
classed them as subversivc. prop
uganda used by the enemy. He sug-
gested that anyone hearing such a
rumor should report it at once to
the FBI.
Frances: Aside from propaganda
purposes, how do these umors get
started?
DR.. Feaster: IT may be the re-
cipients are confused or their
friends do not understand that a
laboratory charge must be made.
/ think it is $3.50. There is no
charge for the actual blood You
see, when blood is needed. the
patient must be typed as to the
kind of blood he has. Then the
blood of that same type from the
blood bank must be typed and
cross-matched with the patients
blood, to see that they match in
every respect. This involves a lot
of work, Sometimes as many as six
pints of the same kind must be
typed and cross-matched before
the correct blood is found. This is
done in the hospital laboratory by
trained teehnicians. But again.
repeat the actual blood is not paid
for.
Frances: What would it cost if
the blood were not given under the
Red Cross program?
Dr. Feaster: In most places where
this program is not in operation,
the cost of the blood is $50 a pint
plus the laboratory charge.
Frances: Thank you, DR.. Feaster.
That is all of my questions. | am
sure I understand much more about
the blood program now. You have
made me realize that this program
benefits the entire country. and
that we must all take part to make
/ it a success.

tors-Dr f. I. Baumgartner, DR..
A. f. Nance, DR.. Thomas Lusby,
DR.. Joseph Alvarez and myself
The craftsmanship rotates. Last
year DR.. Lusby was the chairman.
Frances: have been asked to

needs. II is really a vital national

defense for this country Now what
are your questions?
Frances First, doctor, will it
hurt?
DR.. Feaster: No, it will not hurt
7 don't think YOU will be aware
chat you are giving blood A mild
skin anesthetic will keep you from
feeling the needle. Blood will be
withdrawn in a slow steady, uni
form flow, much like the rate of
blood flow in your veins.
Frances: Is it dangerous to give
blood?
DR.. Feaster: No. A healthy per-
son should have no i'll effects
whatsoever No blood is ever col
lected without doctor being
present at the time of collection
