Blood banks: There is no North American Red Cross Blood Bank with units of blood on call, but rather for each emergency or scheduled operation, blood is sourced from the hospital’s own blood bank.

Be sure to carry your blood type with you in case of emergency, and know which of your friends and relatives might have the same blood type as you.
