My Wife was invited by her cousin to come back to the meeting on Tuesday since she had not been to one for over a year. The reason? "There's going to be a special anouncement regarding blood for all publishers, you should come!!" Although I was angry she agreed to go, I was curious to know what this was about....Elders gave her a copy of MY {yeah right} Blood card. It is now one page long!!! Not really a card anymore!! It comes with 2 other pages of details. The back of the card now has a MENU like a pizza shop. You need to tick which blood fracton you approve of.
Section 3. "Regarding minor fractions: I refuse all { } tick
OR I will except certain fraction: Albumin { } Immumoglobin { } Clotting factors Hemoglobin { } Haemin { } Intererons { } Others _____{ }
{Take your pick do you say yes to all {weak Witness} or no to all {right-wing strong Witness what is "others" mentioned here??}
Section 4. "Medical procedures" : "I accept { } I might accept { } I refuse { } Tick ONE
Cell salvage {Blood salvage} - Blood is recovered {sucked} from the wound and cleaned and returned to the body. { } { } { }
Hemodilution- "Blood is DIVERTED INTO BAGS and replaced with expanders...at the end of surgery returned to patient." ???? { } { } { }
There is also a section 5. Regarding do you want to be revived if in a coma or vegettative state. Yes { } No { } I guess alot of Brothers will be needing section 5 !!!

Section 7. - "I give NO ONE {Except agent apointed} authority to override my instructions. Family members, relatives, may disagree with me...does not diminish the strength or substance of my refusal of blood or instructions."
