While the arrival of summer can be exciting, it also ushers in what the medical community calls “trauma season” when warm weather and increase in outdoor activities results in a higher number of unintentional injuries requiring emergency care. As many of these injuries are potentially life-threatening, there is also an increase in the need for blood transfusions, so keeping up the blood supply becomes even more important. This week Dr. Greg talks about summer blood drives with Morgan H. McCoy, assistant professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at the UK College of Medicine.
