Buff found that she averaged five visits to each major donor ($25,000 or more). She is especially sensitive to the easy disparagement that with her husband's name and the Times on her side, it is simple to get people to knuckle under.

And then Dr. Lyndall Molthan, head of Temple's blood bank, made a surprising discovery: she could no longer match Mrs. Hutson's blood, even with that of the original donor. In the intervening week something drastic had happened: the transfused cells had all died, though they should have lived for 60 to 120 days. Mrs. Hutson had become sensitized to something in normal blood. The orthopedists had to set her thigh by manipulation...
