I recently had a heart attack, after arriving at A&E they gave me an angiogram and it was discovered I need a bypass (quadruple). Will I was being prepared for surgery to consultant said he needed to speak to me and he said on your notes it says you’re a jw (I’ve been out over 20 years) I said no and I was willing to accept blood and my notes were updated. I dread to think what would have happened if I had been unconscious and unable to clarify the situation. My mum was with me (she’s a jw and we have recently reconnected) and she knows my views but I have a niggling doubt that she may have followed her beliefs if I was unable to consent. So please make sure your medical notes are updated as this could cost you your life

Notify your doctor, clinic, hospital, and update your HC-POA (or equivalent) and choose a non-jw that will respect your wishes.
