3 BACKGROUND EVERY 2 SECONDS SOMEONE IN THE U.S. REQUIRES A BLOOD TRANSFUSION OVER 30 MILLION COMPONENTS ARE TRANSFUSED EACH YEAR IN THE U.S. TRANSFUSION MEDICINE RECEIVES LITTLE ATTENTION IN TRADITIONAL PROGRAMS WE TRANSFUSE RED CELLS BASED ON THEORY OF GAS TRANSPORT NO FDA APPROVAL SURGICAL TRAINING MYTHOLOGICAL/SACRED STATUS
