Study reveals alarming death rate among JW women! by Lee Elder on

SimonRe: Study reveals alarming death rate among JW ...
We're thankful we found out a lot of information about blood etc... before Angharad was having Dylan. She has a blood clotting condition and were asked to go in to have a chat with the consultant who was concerned (seeing from Liams notes that we were 'Jehovahs Witnesses' and would refuse blood).

She started out with 'I respect your decision' etc... and would cooperate with our wishes. We told her we'd studied things and decided that it wasn't an issue for us anymore (damn, we should have give her some literature).

Once we'd made it clear that we didn't want to be treated as JW's in any way she expressed how relieved she was because of the risk that Angharad and the baby would have been under. Thankfully, there weren't any major problems and it wasn't an issue but I shiver to think that if there had of been, a few years earlier I would have possibly refused the treatement that she and Dylan needed! Urgh.

Thank you for all your hard work Lee - it really saves lives.
