there's just so much here and i can't find the original post and anyway i don't want to go off at OP so i'm making my own post:

FIRST THINGS FIRST, doctors and medical professional are sworn in by The Hippocratic Oath - this is from an article dated in 2001, and under normal circumstances I'd look for something more recent but for the sake of this post, since Evan Buckley was born in 1992, it'll suffice. (and i'm not going to sit here and examine the limitations and criticisms okay. you can read the article if you're interested.)

the point is no medical professional would approve of a procedure that puts an infant child through immense pain in order to harvest bone marrow and treat another child, no matter how sick that older child would be. i'm not sure why I even need to back up my claims for this because it's just a logical fact that no doctor would inflict pain of that level, even if the parents of said infant brought him to the doctor and said they want to put their child through this procedure. quite frankly, they'd have social services called because doctors are mandatory reporters.

which brings me to the second point: to think that the buckley parents would inflict pain of that level on their infant child is fucking bizarre, or that they would not tend to their fussy baby. there's literally nothing in canon to suggest that buck wasn't taken care of as a baby. even if his parents were emotionally absent and neglectful and let maddie step up to provide the comfort a child needs. i mean. it's a fucking reach.

so how is the procedure done? -> link from the NHS website which very plainly explains stem cells are harvested from the placenta and umbilical cord to treat cancers, immune deficiencies, and genetic disorders.

Baby bred to provide stem cells for sister (2000)

Placental blood as a source of hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation into unrelated recipients (1996)

i can't find anything earlier than 1996 but quite frankly i don't think i have to. that's only 4 years before buck was born. i think it'll suffice.

tl;dr this is the dumbest take i have seen and i think a very quick 5-minute google search disproves OP's "headcanon" so i'm gonna go ahead and take that bet for 0 dollars. there's 0 % chance that happened.

y'all gotta stop coming up with scenarios that put buck through worse things that canon already has because it's giving woobification. because it's not bad enough that his first experience that pain = love was at 5 years old which is very transparently depicted in canon. what the fuck is wrong with y'all.

and i'm not even gonna touch upon the reblogger's tags about how buck is "predisposed" to "subbing" for.. this.. reason.. of all things... because i see bad BDSM takes every day on this godforsaken website anyway.

All staff and visitors,

To show support for the NHS, we are running a blood donation event at 12:00 today in the library. Please sign up on our website at least three hours beforehand so we know how many people to expect, and consider donating to the NHS Blood and Transplant Charity Fund.

All blood must be sourced directly from your body! Our police liaison Tim will be on duty for the entire four hour event and you will be prosecuted!

Hackers publish NHS patients’ data after “demanding ransom”

The data from the ransomware virus attack allegedly hit the web weeks after a cyberattack halted operations and tests at major London hospitals, The Guardian reported.

The cyberattack targeted Synnovis, a private pathology firm that analyses blood tests for Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) and King’s College Trust, on June 3, forcing the capital’s hospitals to cancel nearly 1,600 operations and outpatient appointments.

On Friday, NHS England said that “it has learnt that last night a group of cyber criminals published data they claim belongs to Synnovis and was stolen in this attack. We realise how distressing this event can be for many people. We are taking it very seriously.”

In the attack, hackers from the criminal group Qilin infiltrated Synnovis’ IT system and locked the computer system, encrypting its files to extort fees to regain access. The trusts had contracts totalling just under £1.1bn with Synnovis to provide services vital to the smooth running of the NHS.

Qilin published 104 files, each containing 3.7GB of data, on the messaging platform. The message ended with an image of the Synnovis logo, a description of the company and a link to its website. The Guardian was unable to confirm the contents of the message, but the BBC reported on Friday that the data included patient names, dates of birth, NHS numbers and descriptions of blood tests, although it is not known whether test results were also leaked.

Vulnerability of the UK healthcare sector

NHS England said it is currently analysing the data with the National Cyber Security Centre and other partners to confirm whether the data was taken from Synnovis systems and what information it contained.

Typically, the release of stolen data by ransomware gangs indicates that Synnovis has not made payment – usually demanded in the cryptocurrency bitcoin – for decrypting its systems or deleting stolen files.

Don Smith, vice president of threat research at Secureworks, a cybersecurity firm, said the attack highlighted the vulnerability of the healthcare sector, as huge data sets make it a prime target. The Qilin attack follows the hacking of NHS Dumfries and Galloway health board, which resulted in the theft of patient data. He also added:

“It follows closely in the wake of attacks on the NHS in Dumfries and Galloway and underlines that this sector, which is incredibly rich in data, must be protected.”

Since the hack began, seven hospitals run by two NHS trusts have experienced major disruption, including the cancellation or postponement of planned operations. Between June 3 and 9, two major London trusts postponed 832 surgical procedures, including cancer and organ transplants.

The disruptions affected Guy’s, St Thomas’ and King’s College, as well as the Evelina children’s hospital, Royal Brompton, the Harefield specialist heart and lung hospitals and the Princess Royal hospital in Orpington.

Rowling didn't say anything wrong though. There are various medical concerns that take place when a transitioned person donates blood. Stop making everything a fucking issue about everything and misinterpreting people. You so called woke left minded thick headed liberals are so far off in the head, not even a slap could bring you back from whatever deluded fantasy you're living in

Hey friend! Thanks for your polite and dignified reply - you’re truly showing me that the far right aren’t rude, unkind or anything negative right now. You’ve definitely convinced me with your kind words.

Seriously though… it’s bold of you to assume that donated blood isn’t thoroughly checked for ANY illnesses, diseases etc. before it’s given to a patient. They literally test EVERY bag of blood to be safe. So these so called “medical concerns” you have regarding trans people donating is unfounded.

Have a nice day, and remember:

TRASFUSO IL PRIMO SANGUE CRESCIUTO IN LABORATORIO

Per la prima volta nella storia della medicina sangue coltivato in laboratorio è stato trasfuso in due pazienti nel Regno Unito, avviando la prima ricerca clinica per combattere le malattie rare e sopperire alla mancanza di materiale ematico di gruppi sanguigni rari.

I ricercatori della NHS Blood and Transplant di Bristol, Cambridge e Londra affermano che l’obiettivo non è quello di sostituire le donazioni regolari di sangue umano ma mettere a punto la tecnologia che potrebbe consentire di produrre gruppi sanguigni molto rari che sono difficili da reperire ma che sono vitali per le persone che dipendono da regolari trasfusioni di sangue per condizioni come l’anemia falciforme. Lo studio, che ora sarà esteso ad altri 10 pazienti, mira a studiare la durata della vita delle cellule cresciute in laboratorio rispetto alle infusioni di globuli rossi standard. “Rimarrà la necessità di normali donazioni di sangue per fornire la stragrande maggioranza del sangue ma questo lavoro a beneficio dei pazienti difficili da trasfondere è molto significativo”, ha dichiarato il dottor Farrukh Shah della NHS.

Da un iniziale prelievo di sangue dai pazienti, sono state in seguito rilevate le cellule staminali flessibili in grado di diventare globuli rossi che sono state poste in una soluzione nutritiva in laboratorio. Nel corso di circa tre settimane la soluzione ha permesso alle cellule a moltiplicarsi e svilupparsi in cellule più mature che, dopo essere state purificate rimuovendo i globuli bianchi hanno potuto essere conservate e successivamente trasfuse nei pazienti. ___________________

British scientists have grown human red blood cells in a lab for the first time, and conducted a clinical trial to give it to patients.

The blood is grown by encouraging stem cells found in a blood donor’s sample to become new red blood cells, and opens the door to transfusion treatments for those with ultra-rare blood types.

[...]

“This world-leading research lays the groundwork for the manufacture of red blood cells that can safely be used to transfuse people with disorders like sickle cell,” saidDr. Farrukh Shah, the medical director of transfusion at NHS Blood and Transplant.

“The potential for this work to benefit hard to transfuse patients is very significant.”

'Perfect storm' forces NHS to repeat appeal for blood donors

The NHS has repeated its emergency appeal for blood donors to come forward, especially across London, as stocks of blood have fallen to unprecedentedly low levels. Book now: the NHS needs blood donors to come forward urgently The fall in stocks is due to what the NHS describes as “a perfect storm” of increased demand of O-type blood from hospitals following the recent cyber attack which has…

[bluboothalassophile]

from ao3, can you do Klaus, hayley, and Elijah, dealing with hope as a full Tribrid? it can be nh hope or just vampire hope in general.

Hello,

So... Probably not what you're after, set in the Heathens & Savages universe, this is when Hope was turned in that timeline. So I hope you enjoy.

You Belong With Us...

Hope stood there, trembling, covered in oil, grime, and blood, feeling her body as it snapped back into place, the tears were streaming down her face as she felt the burn of the fire off the wrecked Jeep and Semi. The barren roadside in West Texas… no one around for miles. It felt like all the magic had snapped in her, she screamed now as she fell to her knees, her head feeling like there was someone driving a stake through her skull and brain.

“She will be happy, Nik. I promise. What's her name?”

“Hope. Her name is Hope.”

“I know I have to give her back to Hayley when the time is right. She's made me realize how much I want that child of my own that I know I can't have her."

“Hope. Hope is all that matters."

“She looks like her mother. Maybe there is a God after all.”

“You know, I spent eight glorious months covered in spit-up, changing dirty diapers and reading bedtime stories to that sweet girl. Please give this to her. And tell her that her Auntie Beks loves her."

“My dearest Hope. My littlest wolf. My miracle child. What a gift to be able to leave you one last message. So please carry it with you in the years to come. I want you to know this. You will make mistakes in your life. That comes with being a Mikaelson. You will go through hard times. For no one with your power always knows how to use it properly. You will find love and you will lose it. For such is the burden of immortality. But the most important thing about your life is that you live it. Because you are my Peace. And I regret a lot of things, but I don't regret a single moment I spent with you. I love you so much. Always and forever.”

“You came to me that night because calls and letters weren't enough. I stopped them for your own good."

“"In my experience, fathers cause pain. Whether by their presence or their absence there is a certain type of ruin that only a father can... Can leave behind. And you... You were such a sweet little girl. Perhaps, I was always bound to leave you broken."

“I'll find your mother, and I swear I will return her to you. I love you."

“HOPE!”

“If I go back, am I ever gonna see you again?”

“Not for a very, very long time. So you better have good stories, okay? Make art. Use your voice. Have adventures. And have at least one totally epic love. And be every bit of yourself. Because the very best of me is in you.”

“You are everything they fear, you are a Mikaelson!”

“I’m sorry for all your heartaches, Little Witch.”

Everything shattered as she felt the soul deep, aching grief of her family’s deaths. The scream which tore from her had her sobbing as she felt all her power swirling; life, death, balance, imbalance, it all came crashing through her body, the agony of life and bliss of death, it tore through her as the last remnants of an illusion shattered. She screamed.

“HOPE!” a voice shouted. She was sobbing as she sat on the asphalt, her dad appeared in the wreckage and flames, looking dishevelled.

“Stay Back…” she sobbed desperately. She didn’t belong here, she didn’t… this wasn’t right. This wasn’t her timeline, her world, she remembered now, how Tatie D and Uncle Kol had conspired to tear her from her world, transplanting her here.

“Hope,” Klaus was there, catching her before she could fall back. She found herself jerked into his chest, arms wrapping tightly around her.

“No… no… this… this isn’t right…” she sobbed as her knees gave out.

“I don’t give a fuck,” he breathed. She felt this version of her father scenting her over and she sobbed as she felt everything break in her. She didn’t belong here.

“We… you need blood,” he said suddenly. “Come, we… there was a bar back there.

“What’s the point?” she sobbed.

“Hope?”

“I don’t belong here, this isn’t my timeline, you didn’t want me…”

“You Are My Daughter!” Klaus snarled. “I meant it before that bloody spell, and I mean it now, you are mine Hope. Let’s go.”

“Why?”

“Because fathers do not outlive their children,” he snapped. “Now come on, I am not having my eldest daughter perish because her status as a tribrid is incomplete without human blood.”

“I… I… I don’t belong here, just let me go!”

“No Hope!” Klaus roared. “You Are My Daughter! I Will Not Stand By For You To Perish Because You Believe You Are Not Mine. Regardless of what timeline you are from, regardless of what legacy you carry, you are a Mikaelson and you are my daughter. And your father, in your timeline would not want you to merely quit because life got difficult. Life is always difficult, but you carry on Hope. And you do not get to join the ranks of the Valkyries just yet, I will not permit it.”

“Why?”

“Because I love you, and because you are my daughter.”

She stared at him with tears burning her eyes as the snot dribbled down to her lips. She trembled violently; she should feel cold, but she didn’t rather her body was reacting to things out of habit.

“But I don’t belong here.”

“You belong where I say you belong, young lady, now let us get you blood and call your mother and sisters,” he decided. She stumbled after him as she walked with her father. She tensed as there were claps of thunder, her powers were still violently swirling in her.

“Uncle Kol’s spell…”

“It was never meant to last, I remember his warning.”

“I… I’m sorry,” she sobbed. Her dad pulled her into his battered side; smelling of burnt leather, blood, and oil, he just held her as he pressed his lips to the crown of her head.

“Do not be sorry, for you are love, no matter the timeline, you belong with us, Hope. Let us get you blood.”

Blood Supply Disruption in England After Cyber Attack

Blood supplies in England continue to be impacted by a June ransomware attack on Synnovis, an NHS pathology services provider. The attack disrupted IT systems, affecting hospitals’ ability to conduct blood tests, leading to a shortage of O-type blood. In response, NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) issued an “amber alert” in July, urging hospitals to limit O-type blood usage to essential…
