Thanks Neil- Interesting comments from Dr. Gore. I wonder if he was just referring to red blood cells which are refrigerated. Platelets are NOT refrigerated so I question what it is that the blood banks do to "maintain and preserve" a platelet that has only a 10 day life cycle in the first place.
I still think this is a topic that AAMDSIF should be including with the next conference agenda and will continue to advocate for Grant to get the freshest product available.
Wendy/mom to Grant
