Receiving a Blood Transfusion |
|
|
 Receiving a blood transfusion is like all medical treatments, a blood transfusion should only be used when really necessary. The decision to give a blood transfusion to a patient is made only after careful consideration. In making that decision your doctor will balance the risk of you having a blood transfusion against the risk of you not having one. Ask your doctor to explain why you need a transfusion, as there may be alternative treatments available.
