BLOOD DONORS EARN $28,150 NEREJ 1930 Transfusion of 563 Pints Reported by Eight Hospitals. BY ARCH STEINTEL Seventy-five dollars’ worth of blood —one and one-half pints—ls us ed dally In Indianapolis to save some one’s life. During the year of 1930 the city’s hospitals performed 563 blood transfusions for an average of a pint of the life fluid for each transfusion. Weighed -on medical science’s scales, the fluid is worth SSO a pint or a total of $28,150 spent yearly to give a man, woman or child anew chance. But unlike some of the larger cities of the nation, Indianapolis has not capitalized on this errand of mercy, for professional donors are not listed by the city’s hospitals. The love of a husband for a wife, a mother for her babe, a man for his sweetheart, a friend for a friend, forms the bulk of the city’s supply. Four Fluid Classes The nearest approach to a professional blood donor in the city are the medical students and hospital internes. “It’s their chance to pick up a few extra dollars and they’re near at hand so w r e can call them at any time,” explained one hospital superintendent. All fluid horn the human arteries are divided into four classes for transfusions. Take a concrete case cf a man who suffered an amputation and the attending physician orders a transfusion. The hospital and its laboratory first ascertains the class in w'hich the patient’s blood may be listed. Donors then are called. Their blood is tested, and if compatible with the patient’s, is used. Donors Feel Little Effect The blood classes are divided into Type 1, 5 per cent of the people; Type 2, 41 per cent; Type 3, 12 per cent; Type 4, 42 per cent. Type 4 may be transfused with any of the other types, but the other types can not be used for transfusion. The only time a transfusion—and it can hardly be called that because of the small amount of the fluid used—is directly compatible without necessity for test is that of a new-born babe and its mother. Physicians can take as high as two pints of blood from a donor without serious effect, they say. “It’s been done and about all the donor feels Is a slight weakness and thirst,’’ one hospital superintendent said. SSO a Pint The transfusion prices for fluid range from $lO for one-tenth of a pint to $25 for a half pint and SSO for the full measure. In 1930 the Methodist hospital led in transfusions with 304. Other hospitals recorded: Robert Long, twenty-five; William H. Coleman, eighty; James Whitcomb Riley, twenty-six; St. Vincent’s, forty-one. Indiana Christian, twelve; St. Francis, fourteen; city hospital, j sixty rone.
