Beaubobritton said:

"I had the same thing happen when I worked in the ER on night shift. A woman was literally bleeding out and I asked one of my female nurse buddies to go in and chat her, woman to woman, and she eventually got the patient to accept a transfusion of 3 units which saves her life."

DivaBerry said:

"Sorry for your loss. I don’t pity but the kids she left behind. God will guide them and keep them, they will be alright if the uncles and aunties are good people to fend for them."

"Belief in “God” and “prayers” is THE problem here. The last thing they need is more “God” and “prayers.” Her belief in “God” and “prayers” is what killed her."

Michael Tapp added:

"I had surgery a couple years ago and I refused a blood transfusion if necessary because they couldn’t tell me whether the blood was from an unvaccinated person or a vaccinated person. I took the lesser of two evils and chose not to get a transfusion if necessary. Here I am still I’m lucky."
