⚠️Warning: Images of a heart operation at 16:43-16:50⚠️ We are European champions in the consumption of blood reserves. In Germany, we use so much donor blood that supplies are constantly running low - even though around 1.9 million liters of blood are collected through donations every year. As a result, we are told that we should donate even more. But research by Ute Jurkovics and Tine Seidemann shows that we could get by with less. We follow the blood from donation to heart surgery - and to the pharmaceutical industry. What do we need all this blood for? Where do we waste it?
