Donor iron deficiency produces no harmful effects on donated blood quality or donor wellbeing

Most of the U.S. blood supply comes from about 5 million altruistic volunteers who donate blood regularly. Frequent blood donation is known to result in iron deficiency in donors, which has led to concerns that the practice may not only diminish the quality of donated blood but also harm blood donors' health and quality of life.

Patient satisfaction surveys earn a zero on tracking whether hospitals deliver culturally competent care

Each day, thousands of patients get a call or letter after being discharged from U.S. hospitals. How did their stay go? How clean and quiet was the room? How often did nurses and doctors treat them with courtesy and respect? The questions focus on what might be termed the standard customer satisfaction aspects of a medical stay, as hospitals increasingly view patients as consumers who can take their business elsewhere.
