Chapter 648
Ellinor said, “I don’t know the person who’s hurt, I’m just passing by and wanted to help by donating some blood”
The doctor was surprised and looked at her appreciatively. “We don’t see many kind hearted girls like you nowadays! Quick, take this good Samaritan to get her blood type. tested if all’s fine, we can start drawing blood””
The nurse nodded, “Sure thing”
Ellinor followed the nurse to the blood collection room She was worried about the little girl crying alone outside the emergency room, so she decided to bring her along.
The little girl named Lea Reynolds knew that Ellinor was going to donate blood for her mom. So she quietly followed without any fuss.
After taking Ellinor’s blood, the nurse quickly sent it for testing. Once they confirmed that Ellinor’s blood type was RH negative, they started to prepare for the blood
donation
Ellinor sat there, rolled up her sleeve, and stretched out her arm to cooperate with the nurse
The nurse inserted the needle into her vein and the clear tube quickly filled up.
However, before long, the nurse noticed something was off and asked in concern, “Ma’am, are you alright? You look kinda pale. Any medical history I should know about?”
Ellinor shook her head, “No medical history, my blood’s healthy. I’m just about two months pregnant.”
The nurse was taken aback, “What? You’re pregnant? Oh my God! How can you donate blood when you’re pregnant?!”
After saying this, the nurse quickly pulled out the needle and pressed a cotton ball on the puncture site.
Ellinor said, ‘It’s fine, I know my body well, a little bit of blood won’t hurt. Keep going”
But the nurse was adamant, “No, we can’t take any more of your blood! It’s generally not recommended for pregnant women to donate blood! You’re being too reckless, what if it affects the health of the baby“”
Ellinor had some medical knowledge, she knew her body condition well, and she was sure that her blood volume was sufficient and that taking a little more would not be a problem
The little girl named Lea Reynolds reminded her of her own childhood in the hospital when she realized her mom hadn’t come back for a long time.
Back then, she wished for an adult to help her find her mom.
Even now, the thought of the sudden loss of her mom, the confusion, and the fear still sent chills down her spine.
So, she couldn’t just leave this little girl, who was about the same age as she was back then She wanted to do her best to help Lea Reynolds save her mom.
If Lea Reynolds were to lose her mom at such a young age, the world would have one more poor child.
As for her own body, she could recuperate after she got home.
“I know my own body, keep going
“No can do! No matter what, we can’t take more of your blood! The nurse looked at the half–filled bag of blood that had been taken, “This might not be enough, but for now, it could stave off the emergency. We’ll do our best to find other sources of blood.”
The little girl had been listening to Ellinor and the nurse talk. Although she was young, she understood what was happening.
Her eyes filled with tears, and she asked, “Nurse, this lady is pregnant and she can’t donate blood, so will my mom…. Will she be in danger if she doesn’t get any blood?”
The nurse wanted to comfort her, but the situation was not optimistic.
Even when talking to a child, one must be responsible. She sighed, “If we can’t find enough blood, your mom might…”
Ellinor interrupted the nurse, “Don’t worry, your mom will be fine! I’ll go find a new source of blood for her right now!”
The nurse was taken aback and looked at Ellinor in surprise. Was she serious, or was she just trying to comfort the child?
The little girl, who looked desperate, suddenly lit up, “Really, ma’am! Can you really find another source of blood for my mom?”
Ellinor gently patted the little girl’s head, “Uh–huh, I never lie. Wait for me here.”
The nurse didn’t want to take any more of her blood, and she didn’t want to put the nurse in a difficult position either.
The nurse was undoubtedly looking out for her.
Indeed, pregnant people shouldn’t donate blood.
