I would - and did - accept a blood transfusion after my hemoglobin count went down to EIGHT after internal bleeding consequent upon a broken pelvis. Actually, I had three units of whole blood transfused. And I'd do it again.
That said, I'd prefer not to have blood transfused due to the fact that diseases of all kinds CAN be, and HAVE BEEN, transmitted via blood transfusions. So my hesitancy is practical, not religious. I'd go the autologous route if time allowed and it was unavoidable.
In the circumstance contemplated, there was no time. And I was sending EKG signals that said "heart attack" so I accepted the blood and have experienced no ill effects. And don't expect any.
