The grandmother of my assistant is in the hospital in La Romana. She has a medical problem they are calling anemia. I have struggled before to know exactly what they mean in the DR when they say anemia, it seems to be what they call several different ailments. I know it does not mean iron-poor blood, as it sometimes means in the U.S.
They gave the grandmother a blood transfusion last night. Today, they said she needs more blood, but the hospital has no more to give her. So, family members drove to San Pedro de Macoris today to find blood. Nada. So, I guess tomorrow the search continues. I don't think she has a rare blood type. I think it is just another situation that occurs in public hospitals.
I also wonder if someone who has the means to be admitted to a private hospital would have the same problem.
