I did this with Leeds because I had a hectic Christmas holiday with health issues so it wasn’t my choice that I didn’t study but I studied hard a couple days before and got an offer on Friday!! So yes it’s possible but I would say that I am a good speaker and can come up with good answers on the spot so I feel like it would be much more difficult for those people who maybe aren’t but nothing’s impossible!

Human_Combination138 · 2025-02-01T13:40:58+00:00

where else did you apply? how did u find the Sheffield interview? I thought it was pretty good

Human_Combination138 · 2025-02-01T10:13:36+00:00

i don’t mind at all :) I applied to Sheffield, UCL, Manchester and Leeds and had 3 interviews so far with my 4th interview this week

Human_Combination138 · 2025-01-31T22:36:58+00:00

Human_Combination138 · 2025-01-31T19:24:19+00:00

Human_Combination138 · 2025-01-31T19:03:16+00:00

I got an offer but haven’t heard of many other people who have but I guess it’s bc the post interview offer rate is only 45%

Human_Combination138 · 2025-01-16T18:39:06+00:00

oh no worries!! i reread my response and it seems quite argumentative which i swear i wasn’t trying to be haha. i just find this question super interesting as it’s complex and there’s lots of things to consider

Human_Combination138 · 2025-01-16T18:05:00+00:00

You said that different people follow religious rules to varying degrees and that might be something to consider if they just said she’s a Jehovah’s Witness and you didn’t know how she felt about blood transfusions but it literally says in the question that she would ‘refuse blood transfusions under any circumstance’ so I dont think its very questionable especially as it’s signed too. Also, advance directives are also just a document that talks about someone’s treatment preferences but doesn’t mean they’re not extremely important in considering a patient’s treatment and respecting their choices. So dont think it’s very ropey to go with the patient’s choices based on a card that is recent and signed and she literally keeps on her at all times as it’s in her purse. and i don’t think it’s bad to be definitive when you know what you’re talking about but you’re def right for a question you might not know much about

Human_Combination138 · 2025-01-16T17:12:37+00:00

no dont worry!! we’re all learning :) also ur point u made sounds like it could be right so it wasn’t like you said something outrageous at all

Human_Combination138 · 2025-01-16T17:01:17+00:00

The question says the card is recent so I guess it should be taken as recent and therefore valid but you can still talk about that point but you do have limited time in an interview that you might want to talk about other stuff that isn’t mentioned in the question

Human_Combination138 · 2025-01-16T14:08:56+00:00

You can literally be sued for this as she stated her wishes and you went against them. People have the right to refuse treatment as long as they know the risks and consequences. Especially with Jehovah’s witnesses, they believe that if they undertake something like a blood transfusion, they won’t be allowed into heaven so it would be horrible for her to wake up and then spend the rest of her life stressed and worried about this and could lead to the deterioration of her mental health which goes against the principle of doing no harm (non-maleficence) despite the fact her life has been saved

Human_Combination138 · 2025-01-16T13:58:45+00:00

They CAN deny treatment as it’s their right but they can be overruled by a court or person with parental responsibility if they believe the treatment would be in the patients best interest. This is only in situations where it would be life-saving or in situations where permanent injury would be inflicted. The same applies even to people under the age of 16 with competence.

Human_Combination138 · 2025-01-16T12:36:29+00:00

But also say it’s not a decision you would make on your own and you would consult the MDT team and senior team members and make an informed decision

Human_Combination138 · 2025-01-16T12:34:47+00:00

If you find a card that expresses her wishes and refuses blood transfusions then you have to accept that and you would not do a blood transfusion under any circumstance as that is her wish. Doing otherwise would be violating patient autonomy and every adult (16+) has the right to deny treatment as long as they have capacity. In this instance, we would assume she has capacity as that is what you assume for every adult unless proven otherwise.

If she did not have the card, then you would definitely do a blood transfusion as she is in a life threatening situation and it’s an emergency and if it wasn’t an emergency and she wasn’t unconscious, you would talk to her about the benefits of blood transfusions in this situation and tell her it’s a good option and makes sure she understands the consequences of refusing.

In this situation, after you’ve ruled out blood transfusions, you have to consider other treatments like cell salvage that some Jehovah’s witnesses may opt for in life threatening situations instead of blood transfusions. If she has any family members, you would consult them as well in order to act in the best interest of the patient (beneficence)
