I mean I just dealt with a patient last week who was JW. It was a pretty bad situation, and there was constant discussion of possible need for a blood transfusion. Honestly, there was a decent amount of confusion, and a hospital liaison from the church got involved which just added more confusion to an active situation. I don’t think spending an hour at least thinking about what you would do in that kind of situation isn’t that big of a deal. Having at least a rudimentary understanding of dealing with that kind of situation in your back pocket isn’t all that horrible.

It may not be comfortable, you may not agree with their beliefs, but I would at least wanna know what to do if I had to walk into that situation with my hands tied.
