Wot about compatibility problems? in shock they'd give saline or soemtimes
o-ve blood whilst doing a rapid xmatch, any hospital would do this whether
it be nhs or nepal. i've seen a squaddies have his o+ blood group tattoed on
his arm. trouble was the ink stained under his skin to make it look like b+.
Just explain that this is useless info as no reputable transfuser would
accept a peice of paper at face value as the consequences of getting it
wrong are catastrophic.
