It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you
33、. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.There are four basic types of blood; A, B, AB and O. A simple test can indicate a persons blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from paren
34、ts.Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group, hence it is often called the universal donor. For the opposite reason, AB sometimes
35、called the universal recipient.
