question on blood groups

popeye's picture

In brief, I had a medical examination for my workplace in which they decided that my blood group was A+. Some weeks later, at a clinic, they decided that my blood group was in fact AB+.

 

Now, I'm not especially medically minded, but I can see an obvious problem here. Do I need to worry? Is it worth getting another blood group test? Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

better get a second or even third test for your blood group. coz'your blood group would be on your ID card, license and medical card and if ever you needed a blood they will refer to this.

Worth knowing at least in the case of an emergency. AB+ can receive all types of blood but A+ can't receive B +/- or AB +/- . I wouldn't worry too much about it - just get retested.

But how do they actually get it wrong? And who do you trust to give the right answer?

 

Has anyone else had the same problem?

I think, you should go for a third test in a reputed clinic, you need to know your blood group for emergencies...

But Popeye, how come you don't know your real blood type? This is very important in emergencies and so you will know if you are from your mom or dad's blood or you might be of a royal blood!

Blood grouping is done visually and not by any machines......he  he hhe

So if a person is new on the job he can get it wrong........and we all know how many new people get on the job here. 

 

Although blood grouping is done routinely during blood
donation & transfusion, the study of the groups & indexing people
according to the groups are a “politically sensitive” issue.

This is also a very interesting subject.

 

There are only 4 major types of Blood Group A, B, O  and AB.

 

This is also congruent with the Adam and Eve and Lucifer
Story and on the other hand points to the “Evolution Theory” And the “Superior Race
Theory” as wrong.
