The Hospital Information Services of
the Watchtower Society has been irresponsible in promoting a medical
procedure that places an at-risk population in a position of further
risk. The JW population does not have the safety net of a blood
transfusion to compensate for the risk of increased bleeding when
hydroxethyl starches are used and yet the Watchtower fails to alert the
JWs to this added risk.
Not only has the Watchtower Society
advocated for the use of a blood alternative that has added risk, they
have also endorsed Dr. Joachim Boldt, a questionable medical researcher
in the field of bloodless medicine. Dr. Boldt, the physician featured in
the Awake! magazine,
conducted medical research on patients without ethical approval, and
then falsified the data in order to promote an alternative to blood
transfusions.
Promoting notorious medical
pretenders is not something new for the Watchtower Society. Dr. Joachim
Boldt’s name will go down in Watchtower history alongside other notable
quack doctors that the WTS has endorsed over the years such as Albert
Abrams, George Starr White, Charles Betts and Bernarr McFadden.
