A doctor is in an emergency situation where a person needs blood so badly that she will die if she doesn’t receive a transfusion. Assume these things: The patient is unable to communicate her blood type to the doctor The doctor does NOT have access to a blood typing test The doctor DOES have access to transfusion supplies, including an IV catheter and a bag of blood with unknown type 17. How might blood compatibility be determined in this scenario? Did you save all the patients?
