I was wondering if one might find that they treat blood (from donations)
similarily if the patient is to be getting the whole blood? I know they
sometimes spin out parts of it, but I would suspect that they don't
actually *shake* up the bags of blood before transfusions (anyone know
for sure?). However, they do "rock" the blood on those rocking things
to make sure they don't coagulate...so that kind of gentle movement is
obviously ok.
Any ideas on that?
