Speaking at the annual meeting of tlie Wellington. Blood Transfusion Service, Dr. Campbell Bcgg said that, voluntary donations of lilood by 66 men and women, who received no payment, Imd saved the Wellington Hospital Board £346 10s during the year ended January 31, 1934. Before the free service was inaugurated each transfusion had cost the board £5 5s in fees to professional donors. The fact that many people cannot stand the sight of blood was demonstrated at the annual meeting of the Wellington Blood Transfusion Service. A film showing surgeons engaged in a transfusion operation was being screened to illustrate the latest methods, and stifled gasps 'were ‘heard among the audience. The picture proceeded in its graphic realism, and, unable to endure even a black and white representation of the real thing, a. number of the beholders departed from the room, to return only when the film had run its course.
