James Harrison, who was 88, gave blood more than a thousand times to protect infants from a potentially fatal condition — despite his fear of needles
An Australian blood donor celebrated for helping to save the lives of more than two million babies has died at the age of 88
James Harrison died in his sleep at a nursing home in New South Wales on February 17. Known as the man with the golden arm, his blood contained a rare antibody known as Anti-D
It is used to make a treatment given to pregnant mothers whose own blood is at risk of attacking their unborn babies — a potentially fatal condition known as Rhesus disease or haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn (HDFN)
I am pretty sure this was why my mother never went on to have more children after her miscarriage when I was about 3.
Had anybody ever heard about him? I am glad he has his recognition at last.
By special request, let’s discuss our favourite Classic Music and why?
