I've heard so many people dis those who refuse blood transfusions. They try to say that they don't want healthcare, or that they have a suicide pact. I've heard many say that people die because they do not get blood transfusions. However, I have heard many doctors say, that those who don't want blood transfusions just want the best healthcare. Many doctors have also said that they have never lost a patient because they didn't get a blood transfusion, and that many of the doctors who insist upon blood transfusions are either ignorant or are careless. There have been many major surgeries (even open heart surgeries, hip replacements, and knee replacements, just to name a few) that have been done w/o blood transfusions. Also, many people die each year from complications caused by blood transfusions. There are many alternatives to blood transfusions (cell salvage machine, epo, blood thinners, hemodilution, among many others), so why dis those who choose not to have blood transfusions?
