Meanwhile, up at Hospital Santa Ana, a new system for the identification of blood receptors has been set up.
Basically, the system provides a bar code for everything from the bags of blood to the patient’s wrist band, to make the whole system run more efficiently and with fewer mistakes.

How it works is that a patient who is going to receive blood transfusions will receive an identification bracelet bearing the said bar code, which in itself contains the patient’s name, medical record number, date of specimen extraction and the name of the person who carried it out.
The bar code, which has been named the ‘hemocode’ and bar-code reading equipment has been installed in the UCI (Intensive Care Unit), the Emergency Department and the Oncology Department.
Great news for vampires, therefore, who will no longer have to depend on waiters remembering their clients preferred cocktails; i.e. one virgin, shaken but not stirred.
