Whole blood

And now, a new partnership is bringing life-saving treatment directly to patients before they even reach the hospital.

It's giving first responders the opportunity to start whole blood transfusions in the field.

Here to educate us a little bit more about what that means, we have Dr. Michelle Strong and Angela Gentry from Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Temple, joining us to explain how the program works and what it could mean for patients.

Ladies, thanks for being here.

Thank you for having us.

This sounds pretty, honestly pretty revolutionary.

This is pretty exciting to know that this could help people in this way, but tell us a little bit about this pre-hospital whole blood program just to get things started.

Sure.
