As long as you're not getting piriton/benadryl before your transfusions (I only got these with platelet transfusions after a bad reaction) then you should be fine to drive. Before my transplant, I would regularly get transfusions and go to work directly after. But remember that red blood bags take around 2-2.5 hours to drip through, plus an hour padding on either side (if your outpatients is anything like mine), so even if I got there right as they opened at 9, I would still only get to work around lunchtime and work a half-day.
(I know you didn't ask about platelets, but they're much quicker - 15min and you're done!)
