Blood transfusions are a safe and straightforward procedure, routinely performed by physicians with access to a well-stocked blood bank. But, what if they're out of the patient's blood type, or they need one specific person's blood? Maybe there is a donor available, but the recipient has a personal reason to not want their blood? Perhaps blood that was thought to be safe is transfused, but turns out to have some issue that was missed and the patient gets worse or even dies. For reference, a patient can safely receive blood that contains the same proteins as their natural blood without it clotting. Type A blood contains antigen A while B has antigen B, type AB contains both while type O has neither. Rh antigens are produced by a separate gene that either produces the protein (positive) or doesn't (negative). So someone with type A blood can't donate to a type B patient but either one could donate to an AB patient, while a type O donor's blood could be received by anyone. Someone Rh+ can take Rh- blood but not vice-versa. Type AB+ is thus known as "universal recipient" while type O- is referred to as "universal donor". When seemingly every blood type mentioned is rare, see AB Negative. When the blood transfusion confers the donor's powers it's a Superhuman Transfusion. See Billy Needs an Organ for more discrete organ transplants. Personality Blood Types might suggest potential donors among the cast. |

Downplayed in the Season 17 finale of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Mike Dodds is badly injured and is bleeding heavily, the hospital has a limited stock, and there's some concern that the additional supply coming from the blood bank won't make it in time. Carisi has a compatible blood type and offers to donate. However, it's not a central focus of the plot, but rather one fairly brief scene in the middle of a chaotic series of events. | |

Dark Angel: In a first season episode, Logan needs a blood transfusion but, on account of the third world state of the USA, the blood bank is short on his blood type. Fortunately, Max and the other X-5 transgenics turn out to all be type O- so that they can provide one another with easy blood and organ transplants. In season two, Logan is accidentally touched by Max and infected with the tailored virus designed to kill him and the enhanced antibodies from a transgenic's blood are needed to cure him. Unfortunately Max can't do it because she's the one carrying the virus, and Alec has been mistaken for his Serial Killer twin and arrested on his way to the hospital, so Max needs to sneak Joshua (a Beast Man) into the hospital posing as a corpse, to hide his canine facial features. |

One episode of Doogie Howser, M.D. features a very racist patient in desperate need of a blood donation for a procedure. Doogie is able to find a donor with the correct blood type - the hospital's black orderly - but the man is not made aware of who gave the blood until after the procedure is completed, when Doogie offers to bring him in to be thanked for the lifesaving contribution. The racist man's face is priceless. | |

Dexter: A flashback revealed that Dexter needed surgery when he was young after getting into an accident. The problem is that Dexter's blood type, AB negative, is rare. Harry manages to find someone with the same blood type who can donate. The donor is Dexter's biological father. This falls under Artistic Licence – Biology since Dexter could've received a transfusion from any type of negative blood.note Medical personnel will do their best to perfectly match blood types as rejection can still happen even with O negative blood. That being said when the choices are someone dying from blood loss or a small chance of rejection, they will give someone the blood. This would have made more sense if Dexter had O negative blood and the hospital was having a shortage, or if Dexter was missing a normal antigen outside of the AB RH system. | |

Friendship Is Magic: When Rarity was thirteen years old, her mother was in a horrible accident, and needed an emergency blood transfusion. Unfortunately, she had an extremely rare blood type, so Rarity's desperate father ran several ads in every news media that existed to find somebody who had the same blood type and was willing to give a blood transfusion. The only person who showed up to help was an old homeless man with the same kind of blood type, and the subsequent emergency transfusion between him and Rarity's mother saved her life. When Rarity, amazed that this man had so little but still helped a well-off family he didn't even know in their time of need, asked why he did it, he explained that it didn't matter who her mother was; she needed help, he had what she needed, and he was happy to donate some of his blood to her if it meant that her life could be saved. Rarity never saw the homeless man again, and never found out what his name was, but since then she's spent every Wednesday afternoon volunteering at the local soup kitchen as a way to honor his generosity and give back to her community. | |

Dracula features blood transfusions as an important plot point, making this trope at least Older Than Television. Lucy receives four transfusions, from her three suitors and Van Helsing, in an attempt to stave off her death from vampiric blood loss.note Blood types had yet to be discovered, so lack of compatibility is not presented as an issue. This co-mingling of blood foreshadows the men becoming True Companions, as well as a dramatic moment when Van Helsing explains that because Dracula continued to feed off of Lucy after the transfusions, he now possesses the strength of all four men. | |

Everworld: As April (a universal donor) tries to set up a blood transfusion (a never-before seen technique in the Dung Ages Everworld) to save one of Camelot's knights, she sarcastically claims that it will save his life but cause his willy to fall off. From their horrified expressions, she sees it wasn't a good idea. In the end, it only allowed him to walk around and be seen by the troops before the dragon came in. | |

In Kedabory's Elmore Chronicles, "The Disease", Mx. Small lands in the hospital with an unspecified illness, so Gumball and Darwin run around looking for a blood donor, thinking it will help them. They end up finding Small’s estranged brother Boris, who refuses to help, calling the situation karma for Mx. Small’s obsession with alternative medicine. Luckily, Boris’s daughter Sophie is more than willing to give up some blood to meet her long-lost relative, so she goes with the Wattersons to the hospital. Of course, it turns out that Mx. Small didn’t actually need a blood transfusion, and that the basic medicines in the hospital were enough, however Sophie did get her wish to meet them. | |

Unfortunately, he's got a rare blood type, and the team has to spring Murdock from the V.A., because he has the same blood type. B.A. says he doesn't want a blood transfusion from Murdock because it'll make him crazy, just like him. The others overrule him and have the transfusion done anyway, and B.A. does not go insane. He even admits later that the transfusion kept him alive. | |

Jade, Tori's understudy, gets rid of the first pint of blood so Tori has to stay longer, and Robbie drops and splatters the second pint Tori donates. Tori makes it to the play, but can't perform due to all the blood loss making her dizzy. But instead of Jade, Mr. Sikowitz in drag steps into the role. | |

This turned up several times on M*A*S*H as either an A or B plot: In one episode, Hawkeye operates on a bigoted soldier who is worried about getting the "wrong color" blood. Annoyed by his attitude, Hawkeye and Trapper darken his skin to make him think he's turning black. In another episode, "Post Op", the 4077's blood supply is running dangerously low despite repeated calls and almost everyone donating. In the end, several Turkish soldiers arrive to donate blood as thanks for the doctors caring for one of their wounded. In "Life Time", a critically wounded soldier needs a transplant to fix his aorta, and he has an unusual blood type. Major Winchester has the same blood type, and proceeds to donate blood in the O.R. while at the same time giving Hawkeye advice on how to do the transplant. A wounded soldier nearly dies from getting the wrong type blood, even though they gave him the type shown on his dog tagsnote Truth in Television: one of the reasons soldiers wear dog tags is so doctors will know their blood type if they're wounded. It turns out that the soldier switched tags with a buddy who got killed on the battlefield, because he wanted out and the dead man was getting discharged soon. |

The Flash Sentry Chronicles: In the season 2 chapter "Into the Forest", Scootaloo is stung by a creature called a Scorpentine and poisoned. Due to her rare blood type there aren't any donors available, so Flash Sentry, Rainbow Dash, and two visiting Royal Knights, First Aid and Heather Bloom, hunt down the Scorpentine that stung Scootaloo and extract its venom for a cure. Though they get the venom it fails to cure Scootaloo since she has been poisoned for too long. Once Flash hears that the rare blood type Scootaloo has is Triple Z though, he remembers from when he fought Discord that Discord mentioned that is the same blood type Flash has, allowing him to act as a donor for a transfusion with Scootaloo. Not only does this save Scootaloo's life, but First Aid examines the blood and realizes that they are so similar that the only explanation is that Flash and Scootaloo are siblings. | |

Star Trek: The Original Series: In "Journey to Babel", Ambassador Sarek is suffering a severe heart condition and needs an emergency operation, which will require compatible blood; naturally, the only compatible donor is his son, Spock — although it's complicated by the fact that Spock's blood has human factors which will need to be filtered out, meaning he will have to give even more blood and increasing the risk factor to both patients. In the middle of all of this, Kirk is attacked and severely injured by an assassin, and with the Enterprise carrying a ferryload of diplomats, Spock feels his duty to the ship must come first — even when his anguished mother begs him to go through with it, which earns Spock a hard slap. In order to persuade him to go and save his father's life, Kirk has to get out of his hospital bed and pretend he's recovered enough to reassume command, with the intention of turning over to Scotty once Spock's back is turned — but before he can do so, the ship is attacked, meaning McCoy has to perform the procedure during a battle. Fortunately, despite everything, both Spock and Sarek pull through. | |

One Piece: As revealed in a flashback, Fisher Tiger, the original leader of the Sun Pirates, was lethally injured and in need of a blood transfusion, with the only available blood being that of a human's. Tiger rejected it, saying that he'd rather die than be saved by the blood of the people that have caused his species so much pain. At the end of the Fishman Island Arc, after the battle with Hody Jones, Luffy is in need of a blood transfusion, but none of the crew have a matching blood type. Further complicating matters is that it's illegal for Fishmen/Merfolk to give or accept human blood, despite Luffy having fought Hody to save the rulers of Fishman Island and the inhabitants. Jimbei steps up and gives a blood transfusion to Luffy, deflecting the illegality of the action by stating he's a pirate, and thus is already breaking the law. |

The Amazing World of Gumball has a variation in the episode "The Boss" where Mr. Robinson needs a stuffing transfusion (since he's a puppet). The only compatible donor is his son Rocky, but Mr. Robinson refuses to let him donate to him because he sees him as a deadbeat and an embarrassment, so Gumball and Darwin have to help him get an office job to make his father proud enough of him to let him donate his stuffing. | |

Spider-Man: In The Amazing Spider-Man (Lee & Ditko), Aunt May's health decreases to the point where she needs a blood transfusion from Peter. Peter worries that his radioactive blood might have an adverse effect on Aunt May, but participates in the transfusion anyway to save his aunt. This later comes back to haunt Peter in the If This Be My Destiny...! arc when Aunt May falls deathly ill from the radiation in his blood and requires a special isotope to save her life. | |

In an episode of CSI, a young woman, who turns out to be the daughter of a powerful Columbian drug lord, is found dead, and the forensic report states that she has several blood types in her body. The head pathologists argue about whether or not it was a mistake, but when they identify that it came from two other donors, the CSIs piece together what happened. The daughter had been living with her aunt, the drug lord's sister, to keep her out of trouble, and sent her to college in "boring" Utah. When she and her roommate went to Las Vegas for some fun, the owner of a nightclub kicked her out because he didn't want trouble with her father; instead, he sent her to a warehouse used for smuggling drugs, where some low-level dealers wanted to give her some weed, but she inhaled a chemical used to cut cocaine instead. To keep her from overdosing, they tried to replace her contaminated blood with their own (referencing an urban legend where Keith Richards used blood transfusions after a binge to pass drug tests). After she died from the reaction of having three incompatible blood types in her, they dumped the body. At the very end, the drug lord orders the dealers to be shanked in prison, while the roommate, the club owner, and the drug lord's sister are all given a bullet in the head. | |

In Firefly, Mal has to get blood from Wash after he's shot in "Out of Gas". It's a direct style transfusion, with a tube between the two men sending blood from one to the other. | |

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom: Blue the Velociraptor has lost a lot of blood after being shot by a mercenary. Realizing that she won't survive without a transfusion, the heroes decide to extract blood from a sleeping Tyrannosaurus. Predictably, the large predator awakens halfway through the procedure and attacks the humans. Someone apparently asked a vet if this was possible. | |

Emergency! has a variation. The blood needed for transfusion is from the only patient known to have survived a nasty monkey virus. He's flown in to Los Angeles on a plane in hopes his blood's antibodies can pull a very ill Johnny and Dr. Brackett through their own battles with the virus. It's probably similar to what we'd call monoclonal antibodies today, only without growing them in a lab. | |

Babylon 5: In "Soul Mates", Londo is poisoned by one of his jilted wives when he threatens to divorce them, and since he's an alien on a human-run station, they're short on his blood type. Shockingly, the one wife who wants to divorce him turns out to have the same blood type, and offers her blood (on the condition that he never be told about it, since neither of them would be able to stand the resulting sense of indebtedness. The Expanded Universe novels reveal that he eventually figured it out). | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "The Enemy", there is an injured Romulan who needs a transfusion, but the only compatible donor is Worf, who hates Romulans. Eventually, he's convinced to give up some of his blood, but by then, the Romulan has died. Even before Worf decides to do it, he speaks with the Romulan, who tells him that he would rather die than accept the transfusion anyway. | |
