Mr.B and Me in Saudi Arabia

Mr. B and Me

(Adventures in Saudi Arabia and beyond!)

Hi!

I'm Mr B -- Short for Mr. Blooddrop. I came to Atlanta from San Francisco in 1999. Claudia rescued me at the AABB Annual Meeting there and gave me a home at Atlanta Medical Center.

Now, after over 4 years in Atlanta, we've moved on to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on the campus of the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center.

I've decided to go native, too! Here I am with the traditional headdress (gutra).

Come and check out the photos from my recent vacation in Portugal. It's a beautiful place and I hope I get to go back sometime to visit more of the country.

Hi!

I'm Claudia. I'm a Medical Technologist with a Specialist in Blood Bank (SBB) certification. I was the Blood Bank Supervisor at Atlanta Medical Center in Atlanta, GA for a little over 5 years.

But, now that my girls are "grown" I'm ready for a little adventure. So, I have taken a position at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, Saudia Arabia.

Here's an updated picture of me in abaya and scarf -- I've learned to wrap the scarf a little better, but I still have problems keeping it in place over a long period of time!

Like my hat? It's a souvenir of the Blood Donor Awareness Day held March 4,2004 at the Al Ma'ather Park.
