in jEHOVAH'S WITNESS case, in an emergency they say to transfuse,
1.so in a child after an accident UW says to transfuse without parental consent but in a case of exchange transfusion for severe kernicturus secondary to HEMOLYTIC DS OF NEW BORN, THEY say to involve ethics community and court to get consent for transfusion?,both are life saving, why this difference?

in a case of huntington ds , the person refuses to divulge info to anybody[not even the family members who will be affectedwith ds ]is this acceptable?this also in UW

for ccs cases do we need to send the patient from office to ER always before we admit him to ward.when do we do, when not?
in a case of pericardial tamponade,pericardiocentesis takes around 30 minutes in ER as per software, and needs a medical/sx consult, it does not let us do without consult, is it ok, or there is an other way to type like we put in a needle initially for pneumothorax?
what is the diff bet advancing clock after ordering a test and call with the next avail result?
please answer, thanks so much.
ROS
please answer anyone?
thanks.
On the jEHOVAH'S WITNESS case...even I am confused...i.e. for Kernicterus, I also chose the option to treat immediately...Nots ure why one shud go to courts, although life threatening!
If Bacterial meningitis is life threatening and parents can be overrules to treat the chils, why not kernicterus..?
