Hello, don't really know if this topic has been trashed out already, but anyways....
What will you do in regards to the patient's_bill of right , a situation where the patient's faith is against blood transfusion (let's say JW, and at admission, the patient was rushed in an unconscious state at the A/E department of the hospital, but due to the[b] EMERGENCY[/b] of the case he was TRANSFUSED WITHOUT CONSENT OR THAT OF ANY RELATIVE

_As a medical professional what are you going to do at that moment?
Eventually if that patient dies at that point ,you might be probably charged to court.
_Secondly if the patient decides to sue you, after recovery.

Consent is implied in emergencies except the patient is carrying a JW card that clearly states to not transfuse.

However if the patient is a minor, irrespective of what the caregiver states, you must transfuse.

Are you a JW?

Remember the patient is in an unconscious state with no relatives at that moment.What if there was no card to show for?
Are you going to go ahead with the transfusion,which is clearly against his faith.


Even minors have their own legal rights but I think it has been readjusted.

Nope,I'm not a JW.
