Bashar was tasked with finding an expert to talk to about blood banking. He decided to cold-email the best transfusion-educator in the world who is probably responsible for hundreds if not thousands of haematology trainees understanding blood banking. Turns out he's an absolutely lovely guy who decided to spend an hour of his Monday morning chatting to us about podcasting, education, IgA deficiency and all the wonderful aspects of the blood bank. Join us for an hour with Dr Joe Chaffin MD, much more widely known as "The Blood Bank Guy".
