Little factual error from the writers…
Sonny said "I tried to donate blood and I wasn’t the right type." Umm Sonny – you cannot donate blood – you’re gay! We are not allowed to donate due to that outdated, discrimatory law. Shame on the writers for that snafu – b/c it bugs me that I cannot donate
I’ve been denied being able to donate for over 20 years. I rarely get as much as a cold. They’ll let someone straight who goes out and screws everything in sight donate. It just pisses me off when I think of how many lives I could have helped save over the years. I told them if they aren’t going to let me donate they should at least take my blood and test the heck out of it to see how I’m still living and am without disease if my past is so bad to them.
First of all, Chad wasn’t lying flat. Huh? And, until Boring Boris came in, there was only Dan and a scrub nurse what a joke SHE was…”he’s gone”. Where was the anesthesiologist?
Their portrayal of CPR is, as it is always, LAUGHABLE. Certainly they could try to make it look a little more realistic.
And it was so funny how Daniel was narrating his procedure as he went along. What the heck was that?
You don’t donate for the person directly, it has to go to the lab and be processed before the patient can receive a donation. More likely, they would take his blood and send it to the bank. Duh!
Don’t feel bad about donating. I can’t either because I had chemotherapy. And that was 25 YEARS AGO! What in the heck could possibly be left in my blood after this long?
make what is called a directed donation of blood or platelets for a specific patient. There is no scientific evidence that designated blood is safer than blood from other volunteer donors. In fact, directed donors must meet the same eligibility criteria as other volunteer donors.
I said you don’t. The only way they’d do a direct donation is if it were the only blood immediately available. Even autoanalogous donations are done a week in advance so it can be processed first. Too many people belive what they used to see in the movies and it’s just not like that anymore.
And you used to go and donate "for" a person so they would get credit for it. That’s not necessary anymore either because they can’t charge for blood. Blod is always free. They can charge for the administration bit not the blood itself.
if you have something specific they need. My donations used to be frozen and saved for a young guy who was a hemophiliac because I had the same Kell factor he needed. But that was only so there would be blood available for him if he needed it.
Then one day they took away my donation card that had his instructions on it. The tech said he had probably passed away. Even though I didn’t know him, that was very sad for me. But I would have had to stop anyway when I started chemo.
At least Cameron is a more decent and honest person than Chad who is a complete JERK!!! Cameron tried to help Chad, but Chad was too arrogant to listen and believe Cameron. All Chad wanted was to get Abigail into bed and throw it in Cameron’s face.
I thought that also: why did they have a surgical patient wit his head up? He should be lying flat?
The CPR scene was silly. Could barely tell what they were doing. Then she declares him gone after only what seemed like 30 seconds? I always thought they tried the paddles a few time, not just once. When Daniel did use the paddles he held them on Chad for what seemed like an eternity. Charge, clear, then remove (am I right), not hold, hold, gone.
Oh, well, we would be more surprised if they got it right the first time.
Totally agree. So true and he accomplished both goals. So now what??
