I just looked it up and the NHS Blood website has a better explanation

AB positive blood type
AB positive blood is one of the rarest blood types in the country. Just 2% of donors have it so we manage donations differently to other types.

Yeah, my blood type is one of the most rare plus I'm a universal recipient so I guess just not much call for it 🤷♀️
I was once told they use my blood type as plasma for babies though so not if that changed. They have been after me to consider donating plasma so will look into it.

I used to donate but they told me I wasn't needed anymore as my blood type is a universal recipient! It really is such a good deed. I'm sorry you can't donate anymore but thanks for encouraging others to!

So a plea to my followers: if you can (and I know there are many who can't, for many reasons, no need to apologise/explain), would you consider donating blood? Especially if you've never done it before. I will feel less upset about being removed from the donor pool if I can recruit some new donors!

In other words, you need a large NECESSARY bureaucracy. Healthcare is big and weird and complicated to deliver and you need people to support the people delivering the care. And if you "cut bureaucracy" and reinvest that money in the frontline then the frontline are *less supported*.

Sounds like an excellent insult though. "Ugh, you're SUCH a freestanding trifle!"
