I'd always asked myself ds question without any satisfying outcome...
Jehova witness dont accept blood transfusion. So is it possible for a jehova witness to become a medical doctor where he/she will have to transfuse patients with blood based on d doctrines of d profession.
Neva suggest any alternative for blood coz doctrines of medicine wud be followed nd not dt of their church.
Besides no reasonable alternative is available in developing countries like nigeria...

Your answer is in your post, No.

There are alot of Jehovah's witness doctors in Nigeria.even if they cant administer blood transfusion they refer such patients to other doctors.as regard blood alternatives some are available in Nigeria and so many doctors use them.

JW refer patients or wat? den dey must all be operating in private hospitals of their own nd not in govt hosp coz they can neva refer based on dt in govt owned hospitals nd not even in any hosp as far as dey re employed. Besides they wud do housemanship mostly in govt hospitals, serve as corper mostly in rural communities.....so ur fact about referal is zero.
Plus, wat blood substitutes do we have in nig dt will be available for emergency purposes eg after accidents...nd tell me d hospitals where they re used o..in ds obodo nigeria

i fink they can b doctors, all they need to do is abstain from blood and blood transfusion.

Ubenedictus: i fink they can b doctors, all they need to do is abstain from blood and blood transfusion.

nd there's no way a doc can restrain frm transfusing patients wt blood.
So if there re JW dt re doctors, dey must have forfeited d doctrine about blood transfusion to their profession......my point exactly.

i know of UBTH,UPTH and the general hospital in warri.a lot of cases have been handled there.if u are in d medical u would have experience how d non blood alternatives are used becos some doctors have gone for seminals on dat.

@heykims ur point that govt doc cant refer patients to other hospitals is not true.sometimes are refer where the docs can respect thier wishes n b treated well

Are u a doctor? And how do u prove that a doctor cannot restrain from transfusing a patient with blood in view of the numerous alternative to blood transfussion availble?

Abortion is against the Catholic doctrines. Can a Catholic become a doctor?

Abortions are more often elective procedures while blood transfusions are essential and life-saving, so yes a Catholic can become a doctor.

Would you refer to your thought as being biased or hypocritical?
Blood transfusion is equally elective.
What church do you represent?

It is not elective.

Do not shrivel. What church do you represent?
Is abortion not LEGAL in many places of the world? What, then, makes a treatment elective?

Abortion is a life-saving procedure only if the pregnancy is a difficult one. Otherwise it's an elective procedure which is only done by request. Whereas blood transfusions are life-saving procedures. Use your dictionary to find out the meaning of elective. This is my last comment on this topic.

I am glad that you took something away from this. I emboldened your conviction below. Thank you for your time. Bless you and have a wonderful day, my brother.
