Blood Drug Testing

Why do they not have blood types recorded on ones medical record at the dr. office? I need to know mine.?

I called my drs. office and they said that unless you specifically ask for the blood type test, nobody has it listed. I thought that after having 2 babies and a surgery that it would have been checked in case problems arose during the procedures. They said that is not the case. I even looked on my birth certificate....it isn't there either. There isn't even a place for it....I was very surprised by all this! When giving blood do they tell you at the site what your blood type is?

1. You said it in your question, moron!!!! You must go and ask for a test. Unless you do it is NOT recorded anywhere!!!!
2. they should...that's the easiest place to find out what your blood type is
3. You have to ask specifically otherwise they won't tell you. I didn't want to doante any blood until I knew my blood type. Canadian Blood Services (Red Cross) came by my work one day for blood type testing and the following day would be donating. Found out I'm an O but don't know if pos or negative. Try that though
