Anecdote presented as evidence, yet again.
"Fortunately, another member (who was not a JW) recognised the fact that there was something wrong and insisted the Drs examine him again, they found that he was bleeding internally and infusing more blood would have killed him."
How, exactly, was it envisioned that "infusing more blood would kill him? Please elaborate - by what mechanism was this alleged blood transfusion going to be fatal? Because without further elaboration, that just reads like one of your more elaborate instances of hyperbole.
and "cell salvage" is hardly new - as a process its been around in various forms for at least 2 decades now, and is routinely used, which has driven down the need for blood.It doesnt entirely remove the need for a blood transfusion - in a major op, for instance, the blood loss can be greater than the amount reclaimed by cell salvage, and in such major procedures, the patient will almost certainly need plasma or platelet infusions.
There is a huge, massive difference between drinking blood, be it from vanquished enemies or domesticated animals, for ritual or for some supposed "magical" benefit, and transfusing it in order to help save/sustain life - and the rigid interpretation of your magic book of verse prevents you from adapting to changes in the science, culture or the environment. It leaves you isolated and increasingly irrelevant -a kind of social evolutionary dead end. Darwinism in action - Yay! :)
