NoBlood

I am having trouble locating doctors to even start asking for physician care or preparing for a hospital stay in south Denver, Colorado. I've tried AMA, the local medical association, blue cross but everyone's directory works only by name, specialty and location. Are there directories of doctors and/or hospitals subscribing to bloodless medicine/surgery?

I found this reference in Colorado: http://www.noblood.org/forum/showthread.php?t=564

I hope this helps. Maybe someone else will be able to offer assistance.

Thank you.

My mother lives in Maryland. She was recently diagnosed with cancer (a mass on her left kidney). She is having difficulty finding a surgeon who is willing to do the procedure without blood. She is one of Jehovah's Witnesses and has already checked with her congregation elders and the Hospital Liason Committee, but she was told that they do not have a list of doctors who are willing to perform bloodless surgery. Is there some type of directory for the Washington, DC/Metro area to locate a surgeon?

Any assistance you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
