PHOTO BY KYLE CARTER / THE MERIDIAN STAR NEW BLOOD IN A NEW WAY Jack Mayo of Philadelphia uses a double red cell machine (behind) to give blood during the blood drive at The Specialty Hospital of Meridian on Thursday. According to Elaine Eakes, temporary supervisor of United Blood Service, “The (double red cell) machine takes two units of red blood cells off and replaces that amount with saline. This is good for two different people to have surgery on. This is a new technology and we hope in the near future all blood donations will be done this way.” The needle used for the procedure is smaller than the needle used for a normal blood donation.
