Abstract
A 93 year old man with a severe anaemia with possible origin in the gastrointestinal tract refused any clarifying examinations except palliative blood transfusions. Within half a year, he received 48 red blood cell transfusions without any diagnostic or other therapeutically steps. To further decide on treatment strategies, we discussed this problematic case with our local ethic committee and found a reasonable treatment solution
