LOS ANGELES : Red Cross Issues Appeal for Type O Blood Donors

People with any blood type can receive Type O blood. It is extremely useful when time does not permit the recipient’s own blood to be typed and a match to be found, according to Pamela Corante, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles chapter of the Red Cross.
