medical malpractice to provide life-saving blood transfusion despite patient objection?

7/26/2015

Although we'd never refuse a blood transfusion under any circumstances, some religions forbid followers from accepting certain modern medical procedures. A New York court ruled in 2011 it's not malpractice for a doctor to provide a life-saving blood transfusion to a Jehovah's Witnesses despite the patient having previously signed a health-care proxy directing she not receive a transfusion of another's blood. As you might have guessed, we agree with the judge on this one.
