Abstract
We report a 44 year old nulligravida Jehovah's Witness with a known fibroid uterus who presented with menorrhagia and life-threatening anemia. Adamant in her refusal of blood products and deemed too unstable for surgical management, the patient was managed conservatively by a multidisciplinary team.
