Transfusion Question .....

Hi Everyone....

So, my hemoglobin levels usually get down to 6.9 and my old school , 71 year old Dr. gives me ONE unit of blood . He says that it decreases the risks of transfusion ( including iron build-up ), and that red blood cells die off in 2 weeks anyway, so that the effect is the same ........ do you guys agree ? dis-agree ?? After I'm transfused I hover @ 8.0 .......
