My husband is having surgery this morning - not a big surgery but he hasn’t had many surgeries so he’s a tad worried.
As someone who has had multiple and serious surgeries, I thought I should step up and help, so while he’s waiting, I sent him the only advice he needs:

The hematologist Oswald H. Robertson pioneered the idea of "blood banks" in WWI by packing glass jars of citrated blood from universal donors in an ice-filled chest that he had constructed from ammunition cases. He convinced countless others to donate blood during the war.
