A good easy-to-read set, but...

Thanks for the link Neil. I'd say these are well-written even for adults who have been drawn into AA and MDS as patients or caregivers too; however, there are a few mistakes. For example, under blood transfusions "The blood for transfusions is stored in small plastic bags. Each of these holds about half a litre of blood, which is usually given over 1 or 2 hours."

In over 230 PRBC bags the most I've had was 345ml over 2 hours!
