| Why Do Witnesses Dr/nrs Refuse To Transfuse Patients Who Consent To It? by marycool18(op): 9:38am On May 08, 2015*. Modified: 10:20am On May 08, 2015 |
During my training as a student Nurse, I've encountered many scenarios whereby a witness nurse or Dctor on duty will refuse to give blood transfusion to patients who consent for it. This is often in cases of emergency which means that a delay in administration may mean death for the patient. If asked they'll say it's their doctrine not to receive or give blood transfusion. The most recent one that baffled me was that of yesterday in the general hospital I'm doing my clinical placement, A young boy of about 10years, very ill looking and pale was refused a blood transfusion after the patient's guardian had consented and even paid for it because the nurse on duty was a witness, instead she delayed and kept it till the next shift which a different nurse will transfuse the child and she recorded in the report that the blood was unavailable. This is a serious matter that legal actions can even be taken on one who violates a person's right to appropriate medical treatment, it's very unfair and inhuman. Please I'm not writing this to disrespect anybody's religion but for the witnesses to spell out their stand when it comes to critical care and not let an innocent person suffer the effects of their own view on blood and blood products. |

She was willing to lie but unwilling to give blood? Talk about hypocrisy! If they cant do the medical job 200% why dont they quit and do what they believe wont make them sin? 1 Like |

This is a very serious allegation which I hope for legal reasons isn't true. Why bother to work in a hospital then? Besides, it's not like they are the ones going to be transfused with the blood. I suggest you drop an anonymous note off with the authorities before something more sinister happens |

jascon1:Stop making unfounded accusations. If your claims are true, why not sue the hospital for the carelessness? |
