  Heart bypass surgery & blood

  by Twitch in

  my father had an angioplasty this morning and was admitted immediately for coronary artery bypass surgery due to major blockages found.. how likely or necessary is a blood transfusion for this?.

  what's the latest policy on blood?.

  i realize there's likely a thread or two dedicated to the subject but i'm looking for the short answer from those in the know, at least on the latter.. i only found out this morning and am heading to the hospital now.

  Thanks for the info

  Actually he had an angiogram to examine what they suspected already, with the likelihood of an angioplasty (stents). Due to a very high percentage of blockage, they decided to forego this and opt for a specialist opinion on the multiple bypass option. Was supposed to know tonight but will tomorrow. A crash course in cardiology

  My parents said that blood isn't absolutely necessary for this surgery (nice to hear a corollary on that here) and that there are alternatives available, for a slight fee of course. I reviewed a brochure in the room on the subject that listed options and thought it was typical government issue FAQ until I read the WTBTS info on the back. Very slick. I reserve my rather uneducated opinion on the situation until I hear from sawbones hisself. Tomorrow.

  'tis a strange feeling...

  PS the CO and his wife dropped by the hospital for a brief visit while I was there. Seemed like nice people but my spidey sense was tingling.

  There is something to tradition and history, respect for a larger community in a sense.

  I think it's cool.

  when i first came to this site.

  whenever i would try to talk about somethign from the bible that the jw's got wrong or reason on a scripture that had so much feeling you would stomp all over it.

  talking about "flying spaghetti gods" and laugh at what seemed to be my expense and then leave the thread never to return and add any substance.

  this may have been talked about already, but i didn't see anything.

  i was doing some research and keep seeing ole charley's name on this list.

  it does make sense though, the more i think about it......

  You'd think it's obvious but apparently not.

  YES THERE ARE PUPPET MASTERS AND POWER BROKERS

  ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE

  MOST PEOPLE DON'T CARE

  The question is, why does it bother you, if it does?

  And if you could remove the power structure, what would/could you replace it with?

  Have there been conspiracies involving 2, 3, maybe a dozen people throughout history? Undoubtedly.

  Are there conspiracies that would require hundreds or thousands of people keeping their mouths shut for decades, as would be needed for the wilder conspiracy theories related to 9/11, Kennedy assassination, etc.? Not so much.

  Agreed. The moon landings are a case in point

  As for ad hominems, that works both ways from what I've seen. "Sheeple" or "shill" aren't compliments and anyone who's played these cards and points fingers is just a plain hypocrite or has a masters degree in self deception

  i am infp.. some former witnesses in my hometown had a meetup last night...alas, only four of us.

  but it turned out we had an infp(me), two infjs, and an enfp.

  therefore, it turned out we were all idealists.

  perhaps, you're a fan of tv, perhaps, you're not.

  maybe, you like some aspects of it and not others.. my favorite tv hates are 'news', and commercials.

  i always mute the commercials.

  Haven't had TV for a few years now. Don't really miss it, maybe the odd show or special on cable. Never cared for primetime or sports. I usually browse news online now

  My movie collection has grown however...

  i've been officially accused of "thinking too much".. i've tried to quit thinking, but i'm hoplessly addicted to it.i just can't seem to turn my brain off.. at times duing my school years i was accused of not thinking enough.

  now i'm guilty of thinking too much!.

  the brother even went on to say "could you imagine what the witness organisation if everyone was thinking independently like you do"?
