(If not, what type (in terms of Rh) should this individual receive?  How should weak D blood units be labeled? Can a D-negative patient safely receive weak D blood? Why? Why not?  Can a person with a partial D phenotype safely receive D- positive blood? Why? Why not? (If not, what type (in terms of Rh) should this individual receive? Is it possible to transfuse Rh- positive blood to Rh-negative recipients?  Name several conditions that should be met when transfusing Rh- positive blood to Rh- negative recipients. Which individuals (priority list) should receive Rh- negative blood? Explain.

Hematology

Hematology is the branch of biology. Hematology is the medical field that deals with the treatment of blood disorders and cancers, such as hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia. Hematologists and hematopathologists are medical professionals who specialize in illnesses of the blood and its components.
