A look inside Baptist Health's 'pioneering' bloodless medicine program
When Baptist Health doctors told Phil Ramirez that he required major emergency abdominal surgery, the Apple online trainer and sometime actor and musician insisted a special requirement be met. No blood transfusions. Ramirez, 63, is among the growing number of patients who demand bloodless medicine, which uses nonblood alternatives to support patients who decline transfusions. Some of them, including Ramirez, cite primarily religious reasons, while others have personal, cultural or medical reasons. "When the surgeon came in and wanted me to fill out the form for an emergency transfusion, should it be required or necessary, when I informed him of my advanced medical direct, he actually pivoted and said, OK, I have another form for you to fill out," he said. "He gave me one that was in harmony with my personal medical beliefsand my spiritual beliefs, which was really nice, a partnership so that way a medical professional now becomes a friend." Baptist has been honoring such preferences for 25 years, beginning at Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville in 2001. The Bloodless Medicine and Surgery program now spans every hospital and specialty across the Baptist Health system, according to coordinator Juliann Gaus-Graeser.
