AWAKE! discussed the benefits of bloodless medicine and surgery with four experts in the field.
Besides patients who for religious reasons refuse blood transfusions, who else are showing interest in bloodless medicine?
Dr. Spahn: In our center thsoe requesting bloodless medicine are usually extremely well-informed patients.
Dr. Shander: In 1998 the number of patients who refused blood for personal reasons exceeded the number of patients who refused blood for religious reasons.
Dr. Boyd: There are, for example, patients with cancer. It has been shown many times that if they don't receive blood, they progress better and they don't have as much recurrence of the disease.
