Smile Looking for a orthopedic surgeon in london On,

I'm am trying to find a Orthopedic Doctor in London Ontario who will operate on my arm with out giving me a blood transfusion. I broke my left upper arm on the 26 November 2004. I took pretty sick at the time. On Nov 29 I started bleeding internally ( I'm sure it was my stomach ) i was admitted to the hospital on Nov. 30th. My blood cell dropped to 8. The Doctors treating me wanted me to take blood. While they treated me for a severe case of fungus in the stomach. I refused to take blood. When I went to see the Surgeon (about 26 th. of Jan, 2005 I had a fall in a bus and I sure the healing was undone.) I saw the Doctors and they said I needed a joint replacement, I told him I am a Jehovah Witness, and I would not under any circumstance would I allow blood during surgery. He told me I was a a high risk patient & he would not operate. I am going around with a joint out of place about an inch. I am very handi-capped person. I can't shower my self as my left arm is useless to me. when I wash dishes I awake a lot during the night. I got in touch with one of the elders of our congregation. He said he would get in touch with the Hospital Liaison Committee . It's been over to months or more. I am getting scared, that if something not done soon, it may never get done. And I am suffering a lot of pain. and it interfers with my daily life. Thanks for taking the time to read this email and making this site available to people like me. May jehovah bless people like you. If anyone want to contact me they can aat the email address:------------jking47@rogers.com
