**“The risks of blood transfusion are the advantages of plasma substitutes: avoidance of bacterial or viral infection, transfusion reactions and Rh sensitization.” -- The Canadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal

**“Blood transfusions are basically no good, and we are very aggressive in avoiding them for everybody,” -- Dr. Alex Zapolanski, San Francisco, California.

**One study of almost 9,000 patients, led by cardiac surgeon Gavin Murphy at the Bristol Heart Institute, found that patients who had heart surgery between 1996 and 2003 were three times more likely to die a year after their operation if they had a blood transfusion. In the month after surgery they were six times more likely to die than patients who did not receive donated blood." Guardian uk, 2008

**"There is virtually no high-quality study in surgery, or intensive care or acute care, outside of when you are bleeding to death, that shows that blood transfusion is beneficial, and many that show it is bad for you," -- Gavin Murphy, cardiac surgeon, Bristol Heart Institute

** “Jehovah’s Witnesses were given better treatment by doctors trying to preserve their [the Witness patients’] blood. As a result they had better survival rates, and shorter hospital and intensive care stays than people who received blood transfusions during surgery,” - Clinical Professor James Isbister from the Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney (October 2, 2012, The Sydney Morning Herald)

** “Witnesses had fewer acute complications and shorter length of stay than matched patients who received transfusions.” - Archives of Internal Medicine, August 13-27, 2012


"The bloodletting of yore has been superseded by blood transfusion. Of all the ridiculous medical practices of the past and present times, this present blood craze is the worst." - -Dr. G. Boni and Dr. P.Lafarge

"If blood was a new drug it wouldn't receive a product licence."-- Tom Lennard, Royal Victoria Infirmary

"Probably 40%-60% of blood transfusions are not good for the patients." -- Bruce Spiess, a cardiac anaesthetist, Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond




**"To say that one has died because of refusal of blood, I think is a very general misleading statement." -- Dr. Aryeh Shander specialist in Critical Care Medicine, Englewood, New Jersey

"I can tell you I have done over 200 Jehovah's Witness patients. I have never lost a patient because I could not give the patient blood." -- Dr. Hooshang Bolooki (1937-2008), cardiologist, Fort Myers, Florida

**"It's rarely, if ever, the case that a patient refused a blood transfusion and therefore died." -- Dr. Peter Carmel, neurosurgeon, Center for Pediatric Neurosurgery, New York

"It's an everyday event, for a patient who has a malignancy or cancer, to refuse some treatment of other. They don't want to have chemotherapy, they don't want to have radical surgery, so the idea that patient's refuse treatment, is something that I work with, don't take as a personal insult." -- Dr. Mark E. Boyd, head of gynecology Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal
