June 15th

On this day - June 15th 1667 - The first human blood transfusion (From sheep to Human)

The first human blood transfusion was done by Dr. Jean-Baptiste Denys who transferred blood from a sheep to a 15 year old boy, who survived the transfusion. He survived probably just because of the smal amount of blood that was transferred and the transfusion of blood was banned in 1668. Human -to human blood transfusion did not become common until the early 1900.
