Daisy Charm Jehovah's Witness NO BLOOD Medical Alert Stainless Steel Bracelet

Product Information

Bayer (BAYRY) just paid “tens of millions” of dollars to end a three-decade long scandal in which the company sold HIV-contaminated blood products to haemophiliacs, thousands of whom later died of AIDS The other interesting thing about the wording in this older card is that it would clearly prohibit a Witness from taking any of the multitude of blood products that have worked their way into the Watchtower’s approved list. It accurately reflects the position taken by the Society in the following quote: To Penny: the only solvent reason to get rid of the blood bank armband is if you can rely on all of your phlebotomists and transfusionists to accurately identify the patient and the sample and the blood product using only the hospital armband (preferably 100% of the time...). Our nurses have proven that they respect the blood bank armband slightly more than the hospital armband (which is to say not much), but with the blood bank band we have a somewhat better chance of catching them at it when they don't. We are going to 100% use of the blood bank armband because it helps us to catch more errors. We used to require that they hand write the medical record number on the tube from the hospital bracelet (the only place they could get it from in the room), but JC killed that process by announcing that we were causing them to make errors. In truth, we were catching WBIT by seeing the wrong medical record number on the label. This is not to say that they could not obtain the medical record number by returning to the nursing station and looking it up in the medical record or on the computer... Your hospital has invested time and resources to perfect its blood transfusion protocols to deliver superior patient care. However, a single patient or blood misidentification error can have serious or even fatal results. According to the FDA, there is an average of 414 transfusion errors in the U.S. each year. One of the top National Patient Safety Goals established by the Joint Commission is to eliminate transfusion errors related to patient identification. The PDC line of blood bands and systems can help. The obvious downside to this new arrangement is that emergency department physicians must now speculate as to the actual degree of commitment from the individual unconscious Jehovah’s Witness patient since their signed Advanced Medical Directive may be quite old and its entirely possible they may not even be a Jehovah’s Witness anymore.

Based on the latest findings of mRna shots also called “covid vaccines” and persistent spike proteins causing blood clots, I’m curious on the science of cleaning volunteered blood of these prion spikes.

Retrieved from http://www.uthsc.edu/Internal/syllabus-consult/transfusion_minimal_blood.pdfBeginning in 2004, the Watchtower announced a major change in how the blood card was to be issued as shown below: Furthermore, a plethora of studies show that blood transfusions are not only given unnecessarily, but that they actually increase morbidity and mortality in patients. In other words, blood transfusions aren’t good for you. Physicians in the US are most likely to administer blood, while European doctors have already evolved past using this old, outdated, 20th century method of treating patients and giving blood. The overall movement is towards less blood, not more, because blood is dangerous. It is dirty. It harms your immune system. I’m not a JW, but I would not want a blood transfusion either. I wash my hands after just shaking a strangers hand, why would I want to infuse a strangers blood into my body. Gross!! The “No Blood Card” that Jehovah’s Witnesses carry has experienced significant changes over the years, as you will see in this article. It was simply referred to as “the blood card” for many decades, then came to be called “the Advanced Medical Directive”. Another major change occurred in 2004, when it was combined with a Durable Power of Attorney specific to each state and is at times referred to as the “DPA”.

Phlebotomists are Lab Trained AND must take a short special "Meet the Old Smiling Blonde in BBK" who will give you a friendly inservice and quiz (inter-active so it's not too threatening). She will be attentive to your questions, will show you exactly what is expected and will be your mentor as you encounter situations that are gray area. Hint: You do not want to screw up..you do not want to go there...it's not pretty. It is true that blood products have been overused in times past and that much can be accomplished through the practice of blood conservation medicine – something AJWRB endorses. On the other hand, it is also true that in some situations there are few, or at times no, alternatives to transfusion of blood or blood components. We believe that all Jehovah’s Witnesses should have a free and informed choice in regards to their medical care without control or interference from the Watchtower Society. Reply This new policy eliminated the annual service meeting part and distribution of new blood cards that were completed and signed each year to demonstrate the individual’s continuing commitment and belief in the policy. This marked a dramatic departure from the established policy – one that medical professionals relied upon in assessing the actual wishes of an unconscious Jehovah’s Witness who showed up at the emergency room.

Bible is very clear that the original sin was judgement. All choices are conscience. We all pay the cost of our choice. A personal religious choice is equally as valid as a patriot sacrifice. I personally am not going to die for old bankers fighting over oil, while standing under a colorful sheet blowing in the wind, but to each their own beliefs. Kaaron Benson, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute Cancer Control Journal, Vol. 2, No. 4, November/December 1995, “Therefore, while most adult Jehovah’s Witness patients were unwilling to accept blood for themselves, most Jehovah’s Witness parents permitted transfusions for their minor children, and many of the young adult patients also were willing to accept transfusions for themselves.”
