Three blood transfusions were undergone recently by Mrs. Raymond Hall, who is a patient at Watts hospital following an operation performed upon her recently. Her condition was reported Tuesday by her husband as improving.
About two weeks ago Mrs. Hall was carried to the hospital to undergo the operation but her condition was found to be too weak for it at that time. The need for blood to strengthen her was announced by her attending physicians and no trouble was experienced in securing volunteers to offer part of their life’s blood to the sick woman. The first transfusion was made on November 17, with Mrs. H.N Mills, sister of Mrs. Hall, giving 18 ounces of blood. On November 27, another transfusion was made with Graham Maynard, a brother, allowing 16 ounces of his blood to flow from his body into the veins of Mrs. Hall. The third transfusion took place on Tuesday of this week with Mrs. Mills again giving of her blood. One pint of blood was given in the last operation. In all, one quart and two ounces of blood were given by the two people in order that the sick might be helped along the road to recovery.
