A pregnant Jehovah Witness member who has been in labour for days has died, due to the husband denying her blood transfusion.
The doctor who wanted to go ahead by force had to stop because the husband threatened to take it up with him in court.
According to the husband, Jehovah witness don’t accept unknown blood it’s a sin to transfuse my own blood to my wife he said.
The doctor pleaded with him to save the life of his wife, but the man refused saying’ we have been working for God all of our lives and he will not fail us.
So the doctor went back to the theater, asked the woman if she has another relative close by who can sign to receive blood while she was wheeled out of the theater. The woman cried with her pale eyes and begged the husband to allow the doctors transfuse but he refused bluntly.
Some mins later, the doctors asked him to take his wife to LUTH, for better health care facilities that could condole non blood transfusion. He was requested to get an ambulance for transportation; buy the man got a Volvo stretcher ambulance meant for dead people.
