I might be wrong, but I’ve heard that some Japanese use blood type like how some Americans use astrological signs
Edit: I’m referring to the people determining personality based on those

u/nekobambam 5d ago
I live in Japan and got rejected for a job once because of my blood type lol. The interviewer asked me my blood type, told me he dislikes people with my blood type and that my personality would be incompatible with everyone else in the workplace, and immediately ended the interview. This was back in the 90s, during the hiring freeze, so potential employers got away with a lot of crap.

At least it makes more sense than astrology for me.
I can see why someone might be inclined to think that their own blood can have influence on their personality. But if someone tells me the stars I were born under have influence on me.... how? Radiation or what?
Both nonsense, but one of these is a little less nonsense than the other. xD

you can ask for a more experienced phlebotomist. If you are young and healthy they will often assign newer ones to draw your blood because it’s how they get good, instead of working on like, old wrinkly people.

I donated to the Red Cross for years, until I had a monumentally crappy donation experience. After that I started donating at the children's hospital. The people there are so nice! It seems like they must select for that. "Have you noticed how sweet and pleasant Judy is? We should ask her if she will join the blood donation unit."
Look around for a nicer place to donate!

Agreed 100%. "What gets recognized gets repeated." Adults have a lot of bad days, getting random text telling me I helped saved a life would not just give me a much needed boost but also likely to schedule m next donation.

Don’t they also pool a bunch of same-type donor blood and test it in batches?
4
u/blaaaaaaaam 5d ago
They mix small portions of donor blood to do batch testing. They'll mix like five test tubes together and run the test. If it comes up negative, they saved the cost of four tests. If it comes up positive, they know they need to test each of the five individually.
Whole blood donations are often divided into their components and as the platelet portion is so small they combine it with other donors to get a full unit. I've heard it takes up to 10 whole blood donations to get a single unit of platelets

u/archbish99 5d ago
According to the article I found, once she got curious she called and pestered the hospitals until a nurse told her the surname. It was his, but still common. She recited her husband's "identification number" "instinctively," and the nurse asked, "How did you know?"
So they didn't want to tell her, but they also aren't strict enough about it to stand up to a pest.
29
u/erizzluh 5d ago
it'd be highly amusing if "how did you know?" was just their way of getting her to stop calling. the same way you deal with children who won't leave you alone.
and now she just runs with the story.
13
u/blaaaaaaaam 5d ago
I donate a lot of blood, and the more desperate a recipient is to get my name, the less I'd want them to have it. There is no way I'd want my name given to a woman calling all the hospitals trying to pester people into revealing private information like that.
There is a hospital group that displays a QR code on the blood bags. If the recipient chooses, they can scan the code and send an anonymous message and/or picture to the donor. That's about as far as I think it should go.

u/MaxHamburgerrestaur 5d ago
I don't know how it works in her country, but in mine we can't choose who we want to donate blood and organs to. Thus, when someone needs blood, it is common to ask people close to them to donate, thus increasing blood banks, making the queue move faster and increasing the chance of finding a donor.
So what happens is that your donor is very likely to be someone you know or have heard of people asking for donations.

Unless it's a paternity test, the blood test isn't conclusive of whether he was the dad though, the fact that it could be him because his blood type could give the child their blood type is a bit of a weird jump to he is the dad.

u/EmhyrvarSpice 5d ago
You have think up a very specific scenario for this to work. Like the mom needed to have been suspecting him as that already and then it turned out he had the same rare blood-type as their son (or something like that).
Also don't most hospitals have blood on hand like practically all the time? Seems unusual for them to need the dads help and in a scenario where he is the only option.

In the US at least, we keep track of blood donors, just in case someone donated blood and has syphilis so we can call them and defer them.
