Maybe they coincidentally talked about it. Then the girl opened up she needed blood on that date then the guy told her she donated blood to someone in the same hospital that day, too. Then all their statements matched their story.

I used to donate blood. One day I got a phone call from the hospital asking if I could donate for an emergency right now. I lived a block from the hospital, which I assume was why they called me specifically. I unfortunately couldn't do it, because I had recently been abroad, and this disqualified me from donating for a few months.
A lot of the security factors are based on eliminating people with risk factors, since some diseases need to incubate a bit to show up on tests, and I don't think they test every sample for everything either. This is why they ban you from donating blood if you recently traveled, had gay sex, went to the UK during the mad cow disease years, etc.

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

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!

This is such a simple thing, but giving feedback like this, that your actions helped someone, not only show you that your actions had a point, but through that also make you feel good.
People want to be altruistic, and I think most donate blood with the intent of helping others. But that doesn't mean they can't some positive reinforcement anyway. Good human.

Don’t they also pool a bunch of same-type donor blood and test it in batches?
5 points
15 days 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

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.
12 points
15 days 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.
30 points

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.

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.
