“This is a huge milestone. We don’t have records of any donor in our community coming close to Mr. Adams’ 50-gallon gift,” said Paul Adams (no relation), public relations manager for The Blood Center. “At over 1,000 patients likely touched by his altruism (every blood donation can save up to three lives), this donation is nearly 30 years in the making."
Mike Adams, 72, of Metairie, said he's actually given even more than 50 gallons — he'd been donating for several decades before anyone began keeping track. "It was the late '90s when they started counting. I've donated 400 times since the '90s, and that added up to 50 gallons."

That's awesome, hopefully a pureblood.

But when I bring in a 5 gallon bucket of blood for them it's all
"oh my god! call the police!"
And this old geezer gets a medal.
Ridiculous

Just take it to Autozone and tell them it's 5-W-Corpuscle.

They never let Big Lee donate because his blood was purple and gold.

Just be sure to flush your radiator and don’t mix the colors.

Pff. Those are rookie numbers.

So does he get a cookie cake instead of a small cookie?

Damn, I though my 92 donations, 12 gallons was good. Rookie numbers, gonna pump up. I'm not near 72 yet though.

What a sucker. He gives it a way for free then the blood bank turns around and sells it to the hospital who sells it to the patient.

Just saw an article the other day about the blood busses and these places. They make themselves look like some quasi governmental entity but they are actually For Profit businesses. They take the blood donations and then SELL them to hospitals for pretty big money.

For those of you who have received the gift of life from Mr. Adams at some point in time, be sure to thank him when you see him.

Nola thugs donate more blood than that to dem streets every weekend.

This.
Donating blood is stupid. It should be paid for just like any other resource.
