I have had several surgeries and never to have a blood transfusion. I recently had a ccomplecte tonsylectomy and all went very well. No blood was needed. The Dr. carefully did his work knowing there was no blood thee to back him up if there was some mistake made. The surgery was well planned with proper life saving decision dicussed.. I have never been afraid wen it came time ti haave my surgeries performed. I talked with my Dr. ahead of time explained my beleifs and why I beleive the way I do, True they try to pressure and scare you that you might or wiil die during surgery. But by putting you life and faith in Jehovah the creator of us. He knows we don't want to die. And their job is to save lives not kill them. Also if a Dr. id well informed ahead of time on such a serious matter as this it gives them time to ponder over the imformation when making the right decision.
