He came to Indiana University in 1931, where he became the first full-time chairman of pediatrics. Dr. Meiks gave transfusions, usually about 250 cc of citrated blood, to selected children in Riley Hospital. The donors were usually parents of the children to be transfused. Therefore, direct transfusions from donor to patient were given here by Dr. Gatch in the late 1920's, and citrated blood was transfused by Dr. Meiks after 1931 References
