A Knoxville blood bank says it's badly in need of type O negative blood.

As of Monday, Medic says it could not fulfill hospital orders. It's the type of blood hospitals use most often during emergencies when a patient's blood type is unknown.

Medic blames low donor turnout during blood drives for the shortage.
