I have recently received the following questions. Anyone in UK, or anyone, have and idea on them, or know of any information.
What is the law regarding this in the UK at the moment?
If, for example, a JW with a no blood card was in hospital and unconscious after an accident, and needing blood, could his spouse give consent for a transfusion in his place?
Would/could the medical staff be sued with assault?
Would they still even try and attempt to give a transfusion in the light of the fact that he already has a card saying no blood?
thanks for any help.
