What would happen if you were given the wrong type of blood?
This depends on your blood type and the blood type you are given. Blood types are actually much more complex then the ABO, Rh pos system. These are only they types most likely to cause a reaction. Blood transfusion can be very dangerous. Before a transfusion, a test called a crossmatch is performed to see if the two blood types are compatible. Even if the ABO, and Rh types are the same, the blood may not be compatible.
