THANK YOU

Your lecture literally saved me from failing my test today. I learned much more from your podcast than from my professor. You’re awesome, Blood Bank Guy.

Fantastic series!

Joe's podcasts and website contributed to about 70% of my ability to get an A in my blood bank course for my MLT program. Clear explanations presented in a simple, easy to understand way. Thank you Joe!
