Sonal Sonu: Real Clinical Maturity is Knowing When to Stop
Sonal Sonu, Transfusion Medicine Specialist, shared a post on LinkedIn:
”’Hb is 8.’
‘Transfuse 1 unit.’
Two lines.
One reflex.
But blood is not just a number correction.
It is a biological transplant.
With risks.
With consequences.
Up to 30–50% of hospital transfusions may be avoidable.
So the real question isn’t:
‘What’s the hemoglobin?’
It’s:
‘Does this patient truly need blood?’
Because real clinical maturity is not about doing more.
It’s about knowing when to stop.
What threshold do you follow in stable, non-bleeding patients?”
