This time they needed convalescent whole blood.  So I donated that. 

All the blood banks are looking for donors, folks!  Especially AB and AB- donors.

It is an easy way to be a hero and save a life! 

Plus, I got cookies, thin mints!  (Not for me, I gave them to my BFF for her family)

What? Why would they need AB? That is the one group that can accept every group donation (of course, AB- will still need RH- blood, but not necessarily AB. And it is true that it is the rarer group but normally that is not a problem).
I am AB, they told me I cannot donate due to hepatitis,decades ago, but I never felt they needed my blood too much, precisely because I am AB+, the most "selfish" group of all.  :)

Maybe for plasma donation. That would make more sense.

True. As it is the rarer group they would be less recovered people with AB group.

Yes and plasma of AB donators can be given to any other blood type. Because there are no antibodies against A or B in it.
But a patient with the blood type AB can only receive plasma from another AB person, because all the other blood types have antibodies against either A or B or both in their plasma.

As long as I continue to have antibodies, I will be giving blood as often as I am allowed! 

Dina, yeah, they have lists of when you can't give blood because of ailments and medications. 

I am in good enough shape for this! 

People gave blood when my son was soo soo soo sick, and it saved his life.   It is the least I can do in return!
