MG comes to a physician for treatent of peptic ulcer. he knows his disease may eventually require administration of blood. he tells his physician he is a jehovah's witness and cannot recieve blood. he quotes the biblical passage on which he bases his: that he abstain from meats offered to idols and from blood....(acts 15;28)

the physician inquires about the interpretion of his passage.no christian denomination, except the jenovah's witnesses take it to mean prohibition of blood transfusion. the physician considers MG's belief both unreasonable in view of his health needs and unfound in religious tradition.

he also consider MG's preference to impose an inferior standard of care.
