Do your job and save the child's life. The parents came with her to the ER, if they weren't willing to allow you to save her life then they should have refused medical treatment. They gave their consent by coming to the hospital .

Sir, you took an oath, to save lives. They rushed the child to the ER, I would save the child and call child services to protect the child . God doesn't say to let your child die, or abuse a child. 馃檹 That would fall under child neglect.

Have to follow the laws of your State. Generally, in case of imminent death, intervention against parental wishes can be legal if: - the parents refuse treatment, and -the proposed treatment has a high chance of success, and -the proposed procedure is generally accepted by the medical community, and -there is a good chance for a reasonable quality of life At least, that's what I read after a bit of research. It would still be dependent on local laws and the courts if parents took action against the doctor or hospital.

Legally have to honor what the parents say. Can try and convince them but without their consent, there鈥檚 nothing else that can be done.

You let her die. It's obviously what the parents want.

Use non-blood volume expanders, saline solution. That will build the blood back up without using blood.

but can you not do a transfusion if the blood does leave her body...I remember years ago we had a Jehova patient and the patient agreed to the transfusion if we could run it out and then in without the blood leaving his body...it was 20 years ago and I don't remember...help me if you know

For me, that's easy. First, I'd point out that the Bible says that the life is in the blood. Leviticus chapter 17. By receiving transfusion one is not "eating" blood. No life is being lost in order to save another; instead life is prolonging life. Scripture trumps religious persuasion.

there are other options instead of blood. plasma i believe is accepted.

This is where the hospital legal team gets involved and goes before an emergency hearing before a judge. He decides and the outcome protects the hospital and Dr from lawsuit.

they believe it is better to die without the sin of taking in blood than live with it. they believe they are protecting the soul of their child.
