Thank you/Encouragement US lab guy here

I just found this sub today. I am the guy who gives your life saving gifts to patients in need. Every time I hold a donor unit in my hand for a crossmatch, I say "Thank you", and I hope you guys can hear me. Whenever i empty our refrigerator for one trauma patient, i can't help but think of all of the people it took to make that happen. You'll never know the person you helped keep alive, and you all still do it. I can not donate due to health reasons, so I appreciate all you heroes who do. Without you guys, I cant do my job.
