With new bandage kit, heal your cut - and save a life

While sending off a drop of blood is easy, extracting the bone marrow requires placement of a large bore cannula into a marrow space, typically the pelvis. The procedure is done under local anesthesia. The donor would be released the same day.

I registered as a donor many years ago and was recently contacted as being a match. Sadly I have COPD and am unable to donate given that the donor must be in excellent health.
