there are 2 qs in UW on jehovahs witness.
in 1 u consult with the hosp ethics commiteee to mandate exchange transfusion for the baby with kernicterus in the other u donot wait to administer futher treatment.in both cases parents refuse traetment with bloodproducts for their children.

so what do we choose?

[ArchivalUser]

treat the baby first and then u can contact ethics committee or court

[ArchivalUser]

but u have onlu one choice of either treating or contacting ethics comm.
ofcourse u treat first but then u disobey the parents.

[ArchivalUser]

vaibhavi: I have read that treat the baby and later on court/ethic committe can be contacted; Thus treating the baby will be the answer; true, disobeying the parent but saving life comes first;

[ArchivalUser]

In all emergency situition where you don't have time, treat first

If case in not immediately life threatning, then seek court orders.
