@ms.medtech2k16: You are not paying for donated blood. Blood is freely given by volunteers. What patients are charged for is the testing, processing, storage, compatibility testing, and professional expertise required to make every transfusion safe and life-saving. From donor screening to infectious disease testing and crossmatching, each unit of blood passes through multiple critical laboratory steps handled by trained Medical Technologists. #donatenow #DonateBloodSaveLife #blooddonation #process #medtech
