@Wijns062,  Yes, I am not surprised. I was once told in the passed the same. Quite rigid if a patients life is at stake. Why not take first a blood sample of the donor and test it?  If ok, have the donor blood.  A 'no' in the phone is very funny unprofessional. Poor patient.

I called there to donate my rare blood.
B neg.
They said i am to old.
Only 2 percent in the world have my type blood.
I think might be the only one in Thailand.
Googled this:
The short answer is simple. Most blood donors are proud to have been able to serve their community throughout the course of their lives, and there isn't an age limit to who can donate blood.26 jun. 2563 BE
