If you have had major surgery that would require more than a couple of units (pints) of serum (which I don't think needs to be typed), your type is done then, but not recorded permanently.
A lot of the 'public' are in condition white, ie, unaware of what is going on or important in the world, and would not really remember their type, but blurt out something so they won't look stupid, then if it is wrong and there is a problem, sue! So they won't tell you, so it has to be done every time you may need blood (you can lose a couple pints which can be replaced by serum only-no blood cells or platelets). Exception is the military, and they don't trust memory either, it is on the dog tag. ---- Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest.
