This is a story about a drop of blood. Not just some ordinary drop of blood. No， but a very special drop of blood.

Her journey begins when Tyler decides hes going to donate. Our little blood drop and Tyler had been virtually inseparable， but one afternoon， Indiana Blood Center visited Tylers employer， and a number of his coworkers were donating. So he figured “What else was more worth while in the next hour than saving lives？” Plus he heard they had great cookies. So he filled out the appropriate paperwork and received a mini-physical to ensure he was in tiptop shape.

After being prepped， Tyler took a comfortable seat， raised his sleeve， and， before he knew it， our blood drop was on her way.

Thanks Tyler.

Remember， this was a special blood drop with many powerful components.

First things first. The blood is filtered， then the components are separated. Red blood cells are used in trauma， during surgeries and for treating cancer patients. Plasma is used to treat burn victims and patients with liver diseases. And， finally， plasma can be divided to become cryoprecipitate. Cryo is used to treat massive hemorrhaging. Voice： Wow！

Amazing！ One unit of blood can save three lives.

There we go. A perfect split. Three separate blood components ready to help three Indiana patients.

And off she went to help supply more than 60 hospitals across Indiana.

The amazing power of a drop of blood. Not just some ordinary drop of blood. No， but a very special drop of blood.

Indiana Blood Center depends on more than 500 donors each day. Every drop counts. So， please， raise your sleeve and give today.

這是個(gè)關(guān)于一滴血的故事。這并不是普通的一滴血，不是，而是非常特別的一滴血。

她的旅程始于泰勒決定要獻(xiàn)血之時(shí)。我們的小血滴和泰勒實(shí)際上是一體的，但是一天下午，印第安納州血液中心工作人員拜訪泰勒的老板，然后他的很多同事開始捐血。于是他想：“在接下來的一個(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)有什么比拯救生命更值得的事情嗎？”而且還聽說他們有很好吃的餅干。所以他填寫了表格，然后接受了簡(jiǎn)單的身體檢查以確保自己的身體處于可獻(xiàn)血的最佳狀態(tài)。

在準(zhǔn)備好接受抽血前，泰勒舒舒服服地坐下來，卷起袖子，然后，他還沒弄明白怎么回事，小血滴已經(jīng)在路上了。

謝謝你，泰勒。

記住，這可是一滴特別的小血滴，包含著許多效力強(qiáng)大的成分。

先從重要的開始說。血液被過濾后，各種成分被分離開來。紅細(xì)胞用于外傷，可用于外科手術(shù)和治療癌癥患者。血漿用于治療燒傷患者和肝臟疾病患者。最終，血漿能被分離成為冷凝蛋白質(zhì)。冷凝蛋白質(zhì)用于治療大量?jī)?nèi)出血。畫外音：哇！

太不可思議了！一個(gè)單位的血能拯救三條性命。

就這樣，完美的分離。三種分離的血液成分準(zhǔn)備要用于救助三個(gè)印第安納州的患者。

然后這批血就去幫助供應(yīng)印第安納州的六十多家醫(yī)院。一滴血有著不可思議的力量。這并不是普通的一滴血，不是，而是非常特別的一滴血。

印第安納州血液中心每天得助于五百多個(gè)獻(xiàn)血者。每滴血都至關(guān)重要。所以，請(qǐng)卷起你的袖子，今天就做出你的貢獻(xiàn)吧！
