  • Title: Blood transfusion and the pregnant Jehovah's witness patient: avoiding a dilemma.
    Author: Schonholz DH.
    Journal: Mt Sinai J Med; 1999 Sep; 66(4):277-9. PubMed ID: 10477484.
    Abstract:
    The pregnant Jehovah's Witness patient's refusal of lifesaving transfusion creates a conflict for the physician. While legal steps may be initiated to address the problem, a medical approach stressing prophylaxis which anticipates and avoids the ethical dilemma of managing a hemorrhaging pregnant Jehovah's Witness is preferable.
