Mother's Refusal Ot
Blood Transfusion
Said Cause Of Death
Laurens—A young Laurens mo
ther who had just given birth to
twins in the Laurens hospital died
early Tuesday from complications
arising from loss of blood and the
mother’s steadfast refusal to accept
a blood transfusion due to her re
ligious faith, doctors said.
The 20-year-oW woman, Ttfrs. Bar
bara Ann Dailey Rhodes, finally
was given blood after she lapsed
into unconsciousness and her hus
band, James Rhodes, had given the
doctors a signed statement author
izing the transfusion However, oth
er complications had set in due to
’he long period of insufficient blood
^supply and doctors who fought
grimly for the patient’s life were
unable to save her, they said.
Mrs. Rhodes, a secretary in the
office of Marshall Abercrombie and
T. David Sloan, local atorneys, was
a member of Jehovah Witneses, a
religious sect which prohibits blood
tranfusions for its members.
Mr. Abercrombie, in a statement
Tuesday night, said “the situation to
me was tragic and an inexcusable
waste of human life.”
Mr. Abercrombie said he receiv
ed a call at 6:30 a. m. Monday say
ing Mrs. Rhodes was critically ill
in the hospital following birth of
twin daughters.
He said that when he arrived at
the hospital a few minutes later he
was told by the attending physic
cian that the woman’s condition
was critical because the patient
herself had requested that no blood
transfusion be given her. He said
that the girl’s mother, Mrs. Sam
Dailey, and an aunt, Mrs. Truman
Gaines, both said to be members of
Jehovah’s Witnesses, joined in the
request that no blood be given.

After Mrs. Rhodes lapsed into un
consciousness, Mr. Rhodes signed
the statement authorizing the trans
fusion and eight pints of blood were
given the patient.
“When I got to the hospital, Mrs.
Rhodes had been needing blood for
approximately 12 hours,” Mr. Ab
ercrombie stated.
Mr. Abercrombie said that Cur
tis Walker of Williamston, an uncle
of the patient, and who is not a Je-
hovas Witness, asked attending phy
sicians for permission to call in a
Greenville doctor. The consulting
physirian from. GreenvUe found
the condition of the patient “poor”
when he arrived at the Laurel
pital. After examining the patient,
he told Mr. Walker that “every
thing had been done that could have
been done since Mrs. Rhodes had
gone so long without blood and there
was but slim chance tha she could
recover,.”

titude of the patienf’s husband who,
the lawyer said, “was not a Jeho
vah Witness by choice.” He said
that Mr Rhodes joined the Witness
es only after the girl had refused to
marry him unless he did so.
Mr Abercrombie said that when
doctors told Mr. Rhodes that his
wife needed blood, “he could not
readily agree to it because Barbara
Ann was still at that time conscious
and able to talk. She still at that
time refused blood transfusions and
continued to refuse as long as she
was conscious. He had ‘ promised
Barbara Ann he would not let the
doctors give blood transfusions aft-
ernarbara Ann lost consciousness.
The other members of Jehovah’s
Witnesses, including Barbara Ann”s
mother and Mr. and Mrs. TrSman
Gaines and others reminded him
constantly that he could not forget
the promise he had made to Bar
bara Ann and if he did authorize
blood transfusions. Barbara Ann
would not forgive him nor live with
him in the future ”

Rhodes was the daughter of Mr and
