World Blood Donor Day
14th June, 2018 will be...
World Blood Donor Day
The history of blood donation goes back further than you might
expect, reaching as far back as the 17th century. The medical
specialists of the time knew that blood was a vital element in
the body and losing too much of it was bound to have tragic
consequences on the patient. So it was that experimentation
began, and a whole new breed of heroes was born that contribute
their blood so that others may live. Blood Donors save lives
every day by giving of themselves so those accident victims and
those in need of transfusions for surgeries can live.
History of World Blood Donor Day
The first transfusions were done using poorly understood science
and resulted in some rather tragic results for the patients.
Richard lower was the first one to examine animals and blood
circulation and finding ways to stop blood clotting. While he
was of course only working with animals, he managed to drain the
blood off of a medium sized dog and then transfuse the blood of
a large mastiff into the smaller animal. Both dogs recovered
with no appreciable ill effects.
So it was that he gained great notoriety for his efforts, and
was asked to speak on and teach this technique to the Royal
Society. There were some odd beliefs about blood back then, and
the first human transfusion involved putting the blood of a
sheep into a patient who was suffering from a mild form of
insanity. It was thought that perhaps the blood of so gentle a
creature as a lamb might help to calm his insanity. The act of
transferring animal blood into patients was strongly questioned
by the tightly superstitious and morally rigid authorities of
the time, and the practice was outlawed. Vanishing for 150
years.
It was an obstetrician that brought blood transfusions back into
modern medical technology, starting in 1818. After he saved the
life of a woman who had hemorrhaged terribly after giving birth,
he started publishing works on how it was done and the study
thereof. Throughout his life, he performed 10 transfusions, 5 of
which saved the lives of the recipients.
World Blood Donor Day celebrates the hard work and daring of
these early medical professionals and recognizes the efforts
they put into developing a technology that saves so many lives
today.
How to Celebrate World Blood Donor Day
The best way to celebrate World Blood Donor Day is to go out and
give blood! There’s a powerful need for blood of all types and
there’s rarely enough of it to go around. Just a single
contribution now and then will help save lives, so get on out
there and give!
