There are times when a physician will not transfuse a patient. This might be that the hub level is low, but not low enough to make the patient symptomatic. That is blood pressure is stable, spo2 is ok and patient will be feeling fine. Another reason for not giving a blood transfusion is when there is a high temperature.

What happens if a person gets the wrong blood type?
Well, if he's getting a transfusion, then apparently he's in a hospital. When it's discovered he got the wrong type, a physician trained in that specialty must rush to infuse his body with the correct type, all the while draining out all the blood already in his system, until all the old blood is gone and the correct type has replaced it. Receiving the wrong type blood can be dangerous or fatal.
Which organisations collects blood for transfusion?
Over here in the UK we have a branch of the NHS that deals with the Donation and storage of Blood, they are called The National Blood Service or NBS for short. In the USA I have a feeling that it might be the Red Cross that deals with Donation collection but as for the storage I do not know.
Is protein injection possible?
It certainly is possible; a snake bite is an example of injection of mostly proteins. Another example is an injection of vaccine against most diseases. Whether it is a good thing or not, is another matter. Injection of the wrong protein, even a protein that is safe to eat or spread on your skin, might easily kill you. For example, a blood transfusion is mostly protein and if the blood type is not properly matched to your own blood, the transfusion probably would kill you.
