Is blood transfusions really life saving?

Yes i sat through the whole video about Justine and her brain tumour. this jehovah witness lady got bloodless surgery at Englewood hospital in new Jersey and it was successful. The professionals there said that the "key to successful bloodless surgery is preparation" (about 4 minutes in). Trouble is, that's no use to massive, sudden blood loss where the person must get to hospital immediately for matching blood to be given.

Anyway, the staff went on to say theyre keen to do bloodless surgery because 1 unit of blood costs $11,000. They like to only use blood when there's no other choice, to save money. They added that "Recycling patients blood is used at Englewood if the patient agrees." Recycling is vital when a lot of blood gets lost during surgery but jehovah witnesses won't agree to that, will they?

Well, nothing in that clip denied that blood transfusions are really life saving or even questioned there worth. If you had asked if bloodless surgery was really life saving, that would have fitted the video and the answer would have been yes, it can be, but that has no bearing on them NOT really saving life, 'cause they do! It would help save wasting out time if you gave a clip that actually dealt with blood transfusions NOT saving life.

Yes, blood transfusions save many lives. There is NO substitute for whole blood in life saving emergencies. Proven Fact!

Too bad we can't ask these 2 JW women their opinion, since they bled to death in October 2016 instead of accepting blood to save their lives. Now their newborn babies are motherless. What a horrible shame.

For millions of people, yes. If blood transfusions did not save lives then I guess hospitals would not carry out the procedure. But what do I know? Why don't you check out what the medical professionals say? Look, I've found you an unbiased source to read (link below). Fortunately for me, my Jehovah's Witness parents were never faced with making the choice of whether I would live or whether I would die.

So if I was in a car accident and I had lost enough blood to the point where my body was failing. I was going to shock and my vital organs shutting down due to oxygen deprivation how could you save my life without a blood transfusion?

Go on tell me. I'm mighty curious.

Is blood transfusions really life saving?

- A few hundred million to date.

Smoking really kills. You don't drop dead after a cigarette. People die from other things.

Blood transfusions save lives.

Yes, they really can be.

If you do not wish to have one, or have our children have one, then I suggest you refrain, it will cause no harm to anyone other than you and your family.

I would recommend you receive blood transfusions when it is medically required, but you are under no obligation to follow my (medically grounded and clinically based) advice.

According to Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov, sins transfer with blood; don't donate blood; don't accept blood transfusion yourself; forgive me.

Of course it is life saving. That's why they do it. I don't care what some lunatic JW lies about in a video.

It is very life saving, reason the medical system requires transfusion in time of emergencies.
