There are some denominations such as Jehovah's Witness who have an aversion to giving or receiving blood. I have search the Bible for some foundation on this but have found none.
One day a lady in my church was sharing a "testimony" about how she had to have surgery and the doctor advised her that she would need a blood transfusion. The doctor told her that was a high probability that she would die without the blood transfusion. So she's telling us how she doesn't believe in taking blood transfusions and that she was going to have "faith"...
Fortunately she survived but I'm sitting my seat thinking that was really stupid. God gave us doctors for a reason so their advice should be heeded.
I'm imagining someone dying from a similar circumstance and God says....well duh... what part of the doctor's instructions did you not understand?
