This is a story about a drop of blood. Not just some ordinary drop of blood. No， but a very special drop of blood.

Her journey begins when Tyler decides hes going to donate. Our little blood drop and Tyler had been virtually inseparable， but one afternoon， Indiana Blood Center visited Tylers employer， and a number of his coworkers were donating. So he figured “What else was more worth while in the next hour than saving lives？” Plus he heard they had great cookies. So he filled out the appropriate paperwork and received a mini-physical to ensure he was in tiptop shape.

After being prepped， Tyler took a comfortable seat， raised his sleeve， and， before he knew it， our blood drop was on her way.

Thanks Tyler.

Remember， this was a special blood drop with many powerful components.

First things first. The blood is filtered， then the components are separated. Red blood cells are used in trauma， during surgeries and for treating cancer patients. Plasma is used to treat burn victims and patients with liver diseases. And， finally， plasma can be divided to become cryoprecipitate. Cryo is used to treat massive hemorrhaging. Voice： Wow！

Amazing！ One unit of blood can save three lives.

There we go. A perfect split. Three separate blood components ready to help three Indiana patients.

And off she went to help supply more than 60 hospitals across Indiana.

The amazing power of a drop of blood. Not just some ordinary drop of blood. No， but a very special drop of blood.

Indiana Blood Center depends on more than 500 donors each day. Every drop counts. So， please， raise your sleeve and give today.

這是个关于一滴血的故事。这并不是普通的一滴血，不是，而是非常特别的一滴血。

她的旅程始于泰勒决定要献血之时。我们的小血滴和泰勒实际上是一体的，但是一天下午，印第安纳州血液中心工作人员拜访泰勒的老板，然后他的很多同事开始捐血。于是他想：“在接下来的一个小时内有什么比拯救生命更值得的事情吗？”而且还听说他们有很好吃的饼干。所以他填写了表格，然后接受了简单的身体检查以确保自己的身体处于可献血的最佳状态。

在准备好接受抽血前，泰勒舒舒服服地坐下来，卷起袖子，然后，他还没弄明白怎么回事，小血滴已经在路上了。

谢谢你，泰勒。

记住，这可是一滴特别的小血滴，包含着许多效力强大的成分。

先从重要的开始说。血液被过滤后，各种成分被分离开来。红细胞用于外伤，可用于外科手术和治疗癌症患者。血浆用于治疗烧伤患者和肝脏疾病患者。最终，血浆能被分离成为冷凝蛋白质。冷凝蛋白质用于治疗大量内出血。画外音：哇！

太不可思议了！一个单位的血能拯救三条性命。

就这样，完美的分离。三种分离的血液成分准备要用于救助三个印第安纳州的患者。

然后这批血就去帮助供应印第安纳州的六十多家医院。一滴血有着不可思议的力量。这并不是普通的一滴血，不是，而是非常特别的一滴血。

印第安纳州血液中心每天得助于五百多个献血者。每滴血都至关重要。所以，请卷起你的袖子，今天就做出你的贡献吧！
