“In episode 4, they talk about how “blood transfusions we’re incredibly risky procedure” is only true if they are not screened correctly (type and screen blood test) and/or administered by a non-medical traded person (Renee).
I do believe this podcast is out of the US, where blood transfusions are very much safe. A registered nurse will wait with you for the first 15 minutes of the blood transfusion (when a reaction is most likely to occur). After the first 15 minutes, the nurse will monitor you closely.
Minor reactions such as low-grade fever or itching are somewhat common. And Tylenol or Benadryl can be given. But for the serious reactions, these are no common at all. I hope this doesn’t discourage someone who needs a transfusion from getting one.”
