[quote=Anonymous]It does seem the blood transfusions have a big impact on recovering. I was listening to the press conference with the dr.s from NIH treating Nina Pham and they were asked if her transfusion from Dr. Brantley is why she's doing so well. Her dr. answered they can't yet scientifically say that's the reason -but yes, it appears it's a huge positive factor. I wonder if Dr. Brantley is a universal donor (type O-)? He's given blood to so many of the ebola patients here, and to West Africa, etc. Would there be any reason Duncan would have not wanted a blood transfusion (i.e, some religions will refuse blood transfusions no matter how ill)? Brantley apparently called the hospital to offer his blood, and the hospital eventually said they weren't a match. But there's no way Brantley has matched with every single other US patient, is there? Just curious, don't mean to derail..[/quote]
