Blood Group Dilemma
Before I received my RP, I went for the usual tests including the one to find out my blood group.
I remember thinking the result of A+ doesn't sound/look familiar but put it to the back of my mind until I went back to the UK on holiday. Whilst there, I checked my medical records and found out my blood group is in actual fact B+. I'm pushed towards believing my UK records rather than here, because I remember thinking at the time how non "high tech" the test was.
What do I need to do to get this changed? My RP & driver's license both state I'm A+.
It happens for few..
It is cos of the over concoction of X chromosome to Y.It occurs ancestrally and praise the lord that it is not contagious.You need not worry since it doesn't scathe you in any way rather i should say it is helpful that your blood matches with any other blood groups.A+ and B+ is the rarest combination,about 1/10 mn.Personally,I'm one among that.
Cheers :)

happened to me to!
They got it right at first , when they did the blood test , but then when I got my RP they put on it the wrong blood type, slackers :(
i think i need to do a test again..
I had the same experience. My daughter was born in Dubai and according to her birth certificate her blood group is B+ where as when we took a blood test for the RP here in Qatar they told us her blood group is actually O+!!! Imagine our shock, so we insisted they re-do it and once again the result showed that she is an O+!!!!
now that you brought it up snessy, i think i'll have mine done again sometime, but not here..
It's quite scary that a big, life threatening mistake can me made so easily. It makes me wonder how many others have the wrong blood group on their RPs!

oh my snessy, i think you should have it done again, but not from the same clinic..
failure of organs and then die.
I've no idea where it was done, I'd only been here for a couple of weeks and HR took us. I've always got the impression, if you're given the wrong blood, it could kill you - correct me if I'm wrong.

darude's right snessy, redo your blood group test. having the right info on your ID cards can be helpful in the future :)
means i need to go and redo the test again. maybe i am +k or +x
I did mine at Gulf lab here where did you do your test.
