Doctors, particularly those in the department of anesthesiology, face unique challenges when treating Jehovah's Witness (JW) patients. Such patients refuse to accept blood transfusions based on their firm religious convictions. Some doctors may think that their hands are tied when patients refuse a blood transfusion. However, it should be noted that even non-JW patients occasionally decide not to follow the doctor's recommendations. According to Appelbaum and Roth [1], 19% of patients hospitalized at one university hospital refused at least one type of treatment or treatment procedure. Among them, 15% did so despite the "possibility that their life could be endangered." JWs willingly accept treatments that do not involve blood transfusion, and alternative treatments to blood transfusions are being advanced at a rapid pace [2]. Therefore, an open-minded approach to this issue is certainly possible.
