Are you serious Dr Charles Drew invented the blood bank and it helped people a lot.

The above statement is completely inaccurate. Drew did contribute significantly setting up a large scale blood bank infrastructure before WWII. The Soviets however set up the first blood banks in the 1930's. The first blood bank in the US, and the very term "blood bank", was set up by a Hungarian-American Jew named Bernard Fantus in Chicago in 1937.

Dr. Charles Drew was certainly an extraordinary figure but he is surrounded by a cloud of pure mythology.
