BLOODMOBILE VISITS HERE AUGUST 22
SPECI AL EDITION
WHAT: BLOODMOBILE
WHEN: 22 August 1963
WHERE: Rear Bldg. 101
(Officers' Club Bldg.)
Navy Yard Annex
TIME: 0930 to 1530
AUGUST 1963
The American Red Cross Bloodmobile will
again visit the Navy Yard on 22 August 1963.
As in the past, it will be acting as the De-
partment of Defense's blood collecting agency.
The Columbia Encyclopedia defines blood-
letting as ". . . the purposeful removal of
blood from the body for curative purposes."
This definition could easily apply to the modern
practice of blood transfusion. In reality, how-
ever, the reasoning behind each of these tech-
niques is far apart.
In medieval times, the letting of blood was practiced for most illnesses. The ancients
had some fanciful notions about, and crude methods for, blood letting. Their indis-
criminate practice of the process resulted in the pitiful wasting of rivers of the
miraculous life fluid.
The ebb and flow of scientific thought over the centuries has resulted in another
kind of "removal of blood . . . for curative purposes." It is blood transfusion, but
it takes blood from the body for vastly different reasons. There is no waste of the
precious fluid. The taking of blood today is not to save the donor from some
imagined evil in his body, but to serve a fellow-man from a scientifically detected
failure in time of sickness.
Under the DOD Blood Donor Procurement Program, you, your spouse, dependent
children, parents and parents-in-law are entitled to free blood replacement any
place in the United States. Further, other relatives are entitled to blood replace-
ment under certain circumstances. Most hospitals charge for their services to
administer the blood and this is quite proper. But under this DOD program no
charge for thd blood itself is made.
Donations may be made by anyone aged 18 through 59 years who is in good health
and weighs a minimum of 110 pounds. Those from 18 to 21 years of age may give
blood, provided they have parental consent. Persons 18 to 21 who are in the armed
forces or are married do not need the consent of their parents.
Ample time off will be afforded to participate in the program. Normally, the max-
imum excusal time shall not exceed four hours.
