Kate Coomber: Every Blood Donation Has the Power to Save a Life
Kate Coomber, It Takes Heart Podcast Co-Host, Head of Talent and Employer Branding at Cornerstone Medical Recruitment, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“I saw overnight that Australia is again in urgent need of blood donations.
I know I talk about this a lot. It is a relatively easy thing that many of us can do, but don’t.
Perhaps most are (thankfully) far removed from an experience where you are discussing a potential a blood transfusion?
We all have our own why. I got thinking about mine.
When our premature baby was born, I was totally unaware that I was bleeding internally.
Terrifying, confusing and urgent doesn’t even scratch the surface on this experience.
Now just imagine healthcare teams having to have these urgent conversations with families, if there wasn’t blood actually available in these moments?
I know we are busy. I know there’s always a reason. But if you can, book an appointment. Let’s help our healthcare professionals do their job the very best they can.
I promise donating will be the best thing you possibly do that week.
The moment you receive the text letting you know where your blood is heading – magic – This is the message I received after my first donation.
Comment donate if you have your next appointment booked.”
