Emma Gough, de 22 anos, morreu no Royal Shrewsbury Hospital em 25 de outubro de 2007 depois de recusar sangue após o nascimento de gêmeos; o patologista que depôs no inquérito judicial disse que, com uma transfusão, 'the probability is very strongly in favour of the fact she would have survived'.

“the cause of death was recorded initially as complications of profound anaemia, due to haemorrhage and complications of a twin delivery. She died on October 25. An inquest was opened on October 30”
Emma Gough gave birth to healthy twins at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.
“It is my view if she had received a transfusion the probability is very strongly in favour of the fact she would have survived.”
Consultant pathologist Dr Archibald Malcolm to coroner John Ellery; post-mortem haemoglobin 2.2 g/dL against about 14 in a healthy woman; Mrs Gough, 22, of Dawley, Telford, had signed an 'advance directive' refusing blood; died 25 Oct 2007 at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. The newspaper printed the haemoglobin figure as '2.2 milligrammes in 100 millilitres'; the site reports it as 2.2 (g/dL) without endorsing the unit as printed.

“But she had signed an advance directive saying she did not want a transfusion, a wish which was confirmed by her family when she was unconscious.”
Consultant gynaecologist Mr Oyesanya: had she received blood 'we would not be here today'; the family told him 'at least she remained faithful to her God'. The coroner's narrative verdict (reported elsewhere) was not opened.
