Every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood. A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood. A total of 30 million blood components are transfused each year in the U.S. to accident victims, cancer patients and Sickle Cell patients. Blood cannot be manufactured and can only come from generous donors. Although an estimated 38% of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood, less than 10% actually do each year, according to the American Red Cross. On the current edition of Insight, Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Jamie Muldrow of the SC Chapter of the American Red Cross about the need for blood donations, the donation process and how the blood is used.
