Manga Experience!

I've never know reading manga (comic in Japanese) can increase my knowledge. Lately, after reading Yakitate!! Japan, only I notice that blood type grouping is not just confined to the ABO method that we learn in school. From the manga, it introduce me to Bombay blood type, or if you want to study more about this, try google it and you'll get to know much more. The following blood type is quoted from BloodBook.com (Note: it does exist)
O Rh negative: D- C-E-c+e+, M+S-, Le(a-), K-, Fy(a+b-), Jk(a+b-) CMV-
Meaning to say, you still have all thos D, C, E factor and so on! What is so much of a big deal you might ask. It is useful for blood transfusions. That also means that blood type O is technically not a universal donor. Hmm.... maybe they should put some footnote and disclaimer in textbook just to not confuse or pass on incorrect knowledge to students. So, go read more manga today!
