Found the source: it's the "Globe & Mail" Monday May 23, 2005---an important quote from this article is:
"Schneider's Dr. LaCorte said a body of scientific evidence shows that avoiding or minimizing use of blood products is good medicine. "
and also ends off on this important note, quote:
""It is the experience of Schneider Children's Hospital that use of blood products in the clinical setting can be reduced or avoided by careful monitoring of the patient, withdrawing limited amounts of blood for testing, allowing hemoglobin and platelet levels to drop below traditional levels and administering drugs . . . to stimulate bone marrow's production of blood," he said.
The hospital's successful experience in treating patients who were Jehovah's Witness "assisted the medical community to conclude that some previous views about blood levels at which transfusions were traditionally administered had no scientific validity," Dr. LaCorte said."
