hemosep – blood recycling system.
a blood recycling system, the hemosep cell savage, was developped at brightwake ltd. it is praised as costsaving and lifesaving device for jw who undertake major surgery.
one of the company's trading arms advancis surgical markets the device.
"...and now the device is being tested in England, primarily on religious patients"
With, of course, the help of the Hospital Liaison Committees. What a loving provision from Jehovah. How wise Jehovah has been to establish those helpful committees. Without the HLC...how would all those loyal followers of Jehovah get medical help?

Some more information about the Hemosep machine that is distributed by Advantis Surgical/Brightwake.
An American-Israeli company, Stratasys, supplies the 3D technology to create the Hemosep machine.
With the desire to get the HemoSep’s live-saving blood recycling technology on the market sooner, Brightwake turned to 3D printed prototype parts to save time and money. Dramatically shortening the production process of three weeks for outsourced products, Brightwake’s in-house use of the Stratasys 3D printer saved the company time and cut its prototyping costs by an astonishing 96 percent, saving about £1000 per piece.
According to Cotton, “3D printing has not only enabled us to cut our own costs, it has also been crucial in actually getting a functional device to clinical trials. The ability to 3D print parts that look, feel and perform like the final product, on-the-fly, is the future of medical device manufacturing.”
And about those clinical trials:
Hemosep has already undergone successful clinical trials in over 100 open-heart surgery operations in Turkey and now the device is being tested in England, primarily on religious patients who refuse the use of donor blood for major operations.
milande louis cadet, a 46 year old jehovah's witness woman, died after childbirth in a montreal hospital on october 3, 2016.. this interview and story is in french.

These recent two deaths in Quebec are an indication of the very high risk that a JW woman faces when she is pregnant.
2 maternal deaths out of a population of only 155,000 JWs in Canada. Less than 1 weeks apart.
To be generous, let's say that these are the only two deaths from this cause, in Canada, the whole year. And we don't know that - theseAnd keep in mind that Canada has a reasonably good health care system with a fairly low maternal death rate. But, to be generous again, let's pretend that the whole world has the same level of care that Canada does (it doesn't) and the same maternal death rate.
Extrapolating 2 maternal deaths per 115,000 to the entire population of JWs worldwide, that would mean that at least 140 JW women per year die from blood refusal. Needlessly.

Yes, it is tragic.
A cesarean hysterectomy is especially risky.
This is how one doctor described what it was like to face a cesarean hysterectomy with a JW patient:
...there was one patient I took care of several years ago who was especially worrisome. She was entering her third trimester with a pregnancy that had various complications related to her uterus and placenta that were going to necessitate a cesarean delivery, and quite likely a cesarean hysterectomy.
A cesarean hysterectomy is a difficult and frightening surgery. It’s daunting to try to take out the uterus of a pregnant woman right after a baby has left it: The blood vessels feeding it are bringing one-fifth of her blood volume to it every minute, and new blood vessels have formed in every direction, following no solid anatomical rules, because the pregnancy has strongly requested them since the day it set up shop. During the surgery, you clamp and tie off arteries that are the size of your pinky finger and sometimes your thumb; they bleed, you clamp and tie them again. Ultimately, the surgical saying goes, all bleeding stops. But we’d prefer it to be because we have a successful surgery and not because there’s no blood left.
For this patient, the plan for cesarean hysterectomy was made because, at this time, it was this patient’s only option. However, it is unusual to get through a cesarean hysterectomy safely without a blood transfusion. It was terrifying to me to have to consider not having the option.

The Canadian national rate for maternal death is about (fluctuates yearly) 7 per 100,000 live births. Death due to post partum hemorrhaging alone is likely the same as the States - 8% of all maternal death. Which means that Canada, per year (with just under 400,000 live births per year) should expect to have 2 maternal deaths due to post partum hemorrhaging.
2 maternal deaths due to hemorrhaging projected for a country of 36 million. And the Canadian JWs have less than 200,000 show up to their Memorial each year.
These 2 deaths, that we know of, puts the maternal mortality death rate for JW women through the roof. In Canada. A country that has one of the very lowest maternal death rates in the world.

Hospital St. Mary's of Montreal responded to the VAT News report aired Saturday on the 46-year-old died after birth to her boy, in early October.
"We respect the choice of our patients about treatment," said CIUSSS the West Island of Montreal on Monday.
Mirlande Louis Cadet, a member of Jehovah's Witnesses, refused a blood transfusion during childbirth. It is believed that his relatives.
According to preliminary information, it might have suffered from a hemorrhage, and there might have been a refusal of blood transfusions because of her religious beliefs.
She has lost a lot of blood at the point where a transfer was necessary for survival.
According to the father and one of Ms. Cadet brothers, spouse of Ms. Louis-Cadet, Jehovah's Witness, refused the blood transfusion is done.
"Jehovah's Witnesses were on it, they did not want her to receive a blood transfusion. They kept her alone with them, "said his brother, Isaac Cadet TVA Nouvelles.
The spouse of Ms. Cadet refused to answer the question of VAT News last Saturday.
In response, the hospital St. Mary's said to offer his condolences to the family. "We can not comment on a specific case because patient records are confidential," said the CIUSSS.
Recall Eloise Dupuis, this young mother also Jehovah's Witness, died recently in similar circumstances.
"I always come back to the same question. Is the patient able to give informed consent and she could measure the consequences of his refusal, if refusal ago, "said Manon Boyer's aunt Eloise Dupuis.

Prologos, it seems like the recent death of Eloise prompted this story of Mirlande too.
Mirlande died on October 3rd, before Eloise did. So many JW women die due to pregnancy complications who never make it into the media.

after new mom's death, jehovah's witnesses take heat.
a quebec coroner opened an inquest, but health minister gaetan barrette said dupuis made the choice on her own.
Wonder: A JW mother or father with minor children should not be allowed to refuse a necessary and available treatment on grounds of public interest. They should be urged by court decision to performed their parental care until the children are 18 and independent.
Anyone who chooses to refuse a life saving procedure in the face of leaving a newborn child behind should be declared mentally incompetent.
Any other kind of phobia - and in the case of the JWs...blood refusal is more of a phobia than anything else - would be treated as a mental disorder and the patient declared not of sound mind.
StarTrekAngel: They should have been in our last assembly where a drama representing a brother consulting elders on this very topic was shown. The elder said "Before I can say yes (to the medical treatment in question), I need to know the details..." (perfect example of elders making medical decisions for a third person)
It is not right that untrained elders put themselves in the position of giving medical advice to pregnant women. Ugh...imagine being a young JW woman and having to discuss your pregnancy with either some old, uneducated elder or some snot nosed 18 year old JW male who just got appointed over you. To have to sit down with them and discuss what your care plans are going to be. About procedures and treatment they know very little about.
Eloise's coercion happened long before she was ever admitted to the hospital. It started here (and even before that with promises of paradise and threats of Armageddon in the children's book):
And it continued here:
This is the package that the elders recently received on how to deal with pregnant JW women. Note that this care plan has been 'simplified".
- September 3, 2016 TO ALL BODIES OF ELDERS RE: Care Plan Simplification
- Outline for Discussion of Care Plan with Publisher HID-CP-OTLN
- Care Plan for Women in Labour Refusing Blood Transfusion HID-CP-GH Jan 2011
- Instructions for use of Care Plan HID-CP-INSTR
- Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies; Awake article reprint g0911A-E_Healthy_Mothers_Healthy_Babies
Also note that these forms do not address any of the risks involved in choosing alternative procedures. Nowhere is a JW woman told of how her blood refusal puts her in one of the highest categories of risk for maternal death or that the recommended/approved procedures are off label use.

After new mom's death, Jehovah's Witnesses take heat
A Quebec coroner opened an inquest, but Health Minister Gaetan Barrette said Dupuis made the choice on her own.
"She knew, and she made it clear, that if something was to happen, because of her religion she didn't want any transfusion," he told the CBC.
A former church member describes the committees as "intimidating," but the church defends them. They are "not surrogate decision makers for patients" and are "generally well received in the medical community and recognized as contributing to advances in bloodless medicine and surgery," the church said in a statement.
A spokesman says the church is confident the inquest will show the legal standard for consent was met.
I think this is an indication that the inquest isn't going to do much.
The HLC is firmly embedded into the Canadian health care system and they have the backing of the people who are important and have influence: the Quebec Health Minister and the blood(less)/blood management industry.
The WT's HLC has the backing that counts - the community at large is up against decades of bricklaying work that the Watchtower has already laid and that fortification is pretty strong - it goes all the way up to the United Nations.
Of course the org is confident. They have had years and years to prepare for this. This recent blood death is just a blip on the screen...and a reason to watch the stock market for the biotech companies that the bloodless industry supports
