message: Heading "Blood plasma for British project" is confusing. Change "Blood plasma for British project" into "Blood for Britain project". 68.80.175.107 (talk) 01:26, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: – The program appears to have been called either "Blood for Britain" or "The Blood Plasma for Great Britain project". Switching to the same heading name as on Blood plasma#Blood for Britain. Thank you. – Þjarkur (talk) 19:38, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

message: I think the reference to bloodmobiles is confusing.  Was Dr. Drew's contribution the idea of remote collecting of blood -- apparently the first mobile blood drives were done with a truck of supplies going to a location where cots and other equipment were set up?  Or, was his idea related to the refrigeration of blood and the ability to store it at the remote sites and transport it back to a central location?MikeVdP (talk) 03:25, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

message: I can't edit this because the article is semi-protected and I don't have an account (and don't want one).
While reading this article, I checked the reference (#2 as I type this) for the fact that Dr. Drew resigned from Red Cross in protest of their racist donation policy.  The reference citation here (pointing to ThoughtCo) is a garbled mess, and upon searching ThoughtCo itself to correct it, I could not find any such information in any of Mary Bellis' articles there.  I receommend that you replace that reference with this one, just the first one I found quickly via Google (and from what looks like a reliable source): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5651504/
Dr. Drew is mentioned in Stevie Wonder's song "Black Man"; I think it's worth stating somewhere in the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.215.62.245 (talk) 23:55, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

message: This myth is also spread by Philip Roth's "The human stain" as told by Ernestine, the sister of Coleman Silk, to Zuckerman (alter ego of the author), towards the end of the novel. 109.43.48.127 (talk) 17:42, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

message: I find it ironic that Charles Drew could not participate in his program, since he was Black and they didn't accept Blacks' blood at the time. He also couldn't change the rules of his own program. HimIsMe (talk) 19:09, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
