If You Were Health Care Provider and a Patient of Yours Requires a Blood Transfusion?
Question by Johny: If you were health care provider and a patient of yours requires a blood transfusion?
If you were the doctor in the ER and a patient came in S/P motor vehicle accident, severely bleeding and had lost a lot of blood, would you transfuse blood even if the patient and her family was against it. The patient needed an emergent blood transfusion but the only problem there is she was a Jehova’s Witness. What do you do?
@ Hanna: What if the ER was not equipped with non-blood replacement and the only way to transfuse is by using real blood?
@Dr.Frank: Without blood transfusion and the ER was not equipped with any other blood replacement the patient would die. Would you rather go that route?

It would go against what I do but I have to respect the patients beliefs.
The short answer is No, simply because it would result in a lawsuit and I would be going against their culture and religious beliefs
