New Item For Hospitals

Some simple googling got me this: "As an example, on average a normal, healthy individual who donates a unit of blood (about 450 ml or ¾ pint) will fully recuperate from the blood loss in four to six weeks.".

If humans have ~5 liters of blood, it would take 10*5 or 50 weeks to regen your full blood supply. If this drug increases this by 4x we would be down to about 12 weeks.... or 1000 blood per week, or 150 blood per day (ish). All of this is rough math with very little research and/or calculations.

Would this drug be worth it?

But wait a second. Surely getting to 0 blood is not actually at 0 blood because a human stops being conscious after losing (googles...) 40% of their blood! So if instead we can lose 2 liters of blood, that would be 4*5 = 20 / 4 = 5 weeks to regen your needed supply or 2400 blood per week of 350 blood per day (ish).

Hmm.. no, still not really worth it. Although that is better than 0... hmmm...

Very interesting idea. Would be exceptionaly usefull in situations where you have very low blood & are unable to find an animal to get meat from.
