8. As a former Seventh-day Adventist

I can unequivocally state that SDA's have no objections to blood transfusions. In fact, if there is one positive thing that religion offered is that they are very health oriented. My parents were employed at the SDA owned and operated Loma Linda University Medical Center from it opening back in the late 1960s and I got my first job out of high school in the LLUMC medical records department and it was, and I believe still is, a great organization and pro-transfusion and definitely pro-vaccine.
