Providing safer blood products faster to wounded warriors
Staff Sgt. Amanda Winders checks on the platelet donation site of Army Capt. Susan Hawley to ensure the captain's blood is flowing properly while she donates life-saving blood products Jan. 28 at the Air Force Theater Hospital at Balad Air Base, Iraq. The platelet donation process takes about 90 minutes to complete. Though a time consuming process, many lives are saved by donations. Sergeant Winders is a 332nd Expeditionary Medical Support Squadron lab technician deployed from Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Captain Hawley is a 546th Area Support Medical Company doctor deployed from Fort Hood, Texas. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Julianne Showalter)
