Going through even the cases that they have won. It os rated as high as a "No-code" or DNR order.
Almost as high as allergies
we even colour code the files like we do to these other special events.
In the health care profession,you can't rely on merely askung a person if they want blood.
Because even if that person being a declared member of the JW,and he verbally states that he want blood.
You need at teast 2 people to transfuse it, and the other professional may refuse unless the have a signed declaration with witnesses.
That is much more than meets the eye of the patient. </div></div>
But isnt it up to the patient to say that they don't want a blood transfusion and not the hospital? </div></div>
jyst like how it is not up to the patient to say they don't want meds that they are allegic to.
Uf they are JW, they have to sign that they <span style="font-weight: bold">want </span>blood transfusion.
It has to be prescribed by a doc,like any other treatment.
No patient is in a position to say what treatment they want and get it inless it is prescribed.
many patients change their minds when they are faced with their own mortallity, and may make unusual requests.
....and then revert to their old orders once it has passed.
