i'm not a jw, but am very curious about the religion.
what are the rules of the religion to follow regarding staying in the hospital?
you can't accept any blood transfusions whatsoever, even if it is your own blood you've previous set aside for your own transfusion?
I see. Thank you for the great explanation! This is very sad - maybe I see this wrong. But it seems like if you can't accept a transfusion there is a good chance you may and possibly will die, but then if you do accept the transfusion, you could possible be shunned from everyone around you just becasue you wanted to live?!?
Are there restrictions on anything in the field of mental health? Are you allowed to discuss problems with people outside of the JW like a non-JW psychologist or something?

Thank you for all of the replies so far. The chart is very helpful in understanding. You mentioned JW are supposed to dispose of their blood once it leaves the body, is there a certain way in which it is to be disposed of?
Also, if a JW has a child say that needs a blood transfusion, then the parent is responsible for the decision of conscience... or does this reflect on the child's "conscience"?

So you can go to the hospital, get an organ donation, but if something goes wrong and you start bleeding out, you can't accept any blood?

i am a public health student and am trying to gain more information on jw in order to increase the knowledge of health professionals about the religion.
