Het Filipijnse Rode Kruis op zijn best
Dear Ron and Group.
Let me tell you what happen today in the Hospital.
I contacted the Person mentioned in your message, telling them i will go to said Hospital to donate Blood. I am a B+ Donor verified in Chong Hua and Cebu Docs.
I met the Wife of Mark? at the Entrance and we went to Ward 6 to finalize the Procedure. We where then told to go down to the Lab for Screening etc. from there i was send then to the Office of the Red Cross on Osmena Blvd. explaining to the Woman on Duty regarding my Appearance
I was told the are:
1. need a Request for Blood issued by the Attend. Dr.
2. The are NOT accepting Donors as long as the have Blood available.
3. That there is NO way to donate Blood since it was Sunday and if i shall come back on Monday.
But first i have to get the Request for Blood.
Back in the Ward i asked the Nurse on Duty to see the Doctor in charge. I was been told she is off duty. Upon me Insisting the where looking for a Dr. who could sign the required Request.
It took only 2 hours to locate the Dr. She signed for 3 Units , just in case.
Back to PRC i was then finally informed that the are NOT accepting any Donor as replacement. If given it has nothing to do with the Person who was looking for Donors.
A talk with Mark revealed that one Donor already had left the Hospital, totally embarrassed.
I think its "High Time" to make such an Attitude public, since its not the People who can afford to pay for Blood Units. Its the common People who have no other choice to seek help in a Government run Hospital.
Working for many years as a Firefighter and Paramedic i am totally disgusted especially with the PRC.
Friendly regards
Karl-Heinz
