Are You Type O Negative? The Mayo Clinic Wants YOU!

No no no no no. Not the band Type O Negative; the blood type O negative. Goths and doomers with type O-negative blood are still welcome...I assume.

The Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Center is out for blood...YOUR blood. As long as it's O-negative. And they're asking, not hunting. So there's that.

Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Center is Urgently Seeking O-Negative Blood Donors

The Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Center paused donations around the Memorial Day holiday, and are now running out of the good stuff.

Type O-negative blood is considered the "universal red blood cell donor" type and "... is critical for providing blood to trauma patients as well as O-negative women of childbearing age and children." ~Jeffrey L. Winters (M.D. and Chair of the Division of Transfusion Medicine at the Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Program). Schedule an appointment by calling 507-284-4475.
