[Perioperative bleeding in a Jehovah's Witness].
Der Anaesthesist 2018 Februrary
Perioperative bleeding in Jehovah's Witnesses leaves physicians with difficult medical and ethical decisions. We report the case of a 45-year-old man, who refused to accept red blood cell concentrates by a patient directive. A postoperative bleeding occurred after removal of a transplanted kidney.

The patient showed an amazingly quick recovery and was discharged from hospital after 24 days without any sequelae.
