Sean Tucker presented an interesting as well as informative case study describing the difficulty in obtaining compatible platelets for a patient at the University of Kansas Hospital.  This cancer patient presented many obstacles for the Blood Bank to overcome, thus the title "Mission Impossible:  Platelet Incompatibility Due to HLA Antibodies".  Sean gave insight into the various steps and methods involved in the search for the suitable platelets that were so vital to this patient's treatment.  Sean's clinical background and his knowledge of the subject, plus his communication style, resulted in an enjoyable and easy to follow presentation.
