The neurosurgeon that I first saw in Asheville suggested I donate my own blood due to the massive amount of blood lost during the surgery.

Today during a conversation with Dr. Finger's office, my choice of surgeons who has experience with Charite, his assistant said that is not something they do at their facility. I just wonder if anyone would comment on their experience. Did anyone donate their own blood prior to procedure just in case it was needed? Thanks, Kim
