This clapping seems to be in recognition of the faith and obedience of this young man. Clapping over the inadequacy of the medical services to prevent a death in this case is an unlikely scenario.

The medical services weren't inadequate here. They were prevented from using the best treatment available for giving the boy optimal chance of survival. They did all they could under the circumstances

Of course they were inadequate. The medical profession do wonderful work and are continually making progress. But they were just not up to the task of accommodating the conscientiously held view of this individual, who felt that non-blood medical management was the only option for them within the particular medical circumstances of their case.

 I would have to add "at the time and within the experience of those medical practitioners involved".  

Historical cases will always highlight the inadequacy of medical services in handling requests for non-blood medical management. However, those inadequacies are addressed and, in time, and for a host of reasons, vastly improved procedures become available to those who choose this route of medical treatment. And improvements will continue to be made I am sure.

However, there is a forum section for the discussion of this area of interest I believe. I just wanted to clarify my perception of why the audience in the example cited would wish to applaud in the context of such a sad circumstance.

It's extremely difficult to treat AML and acute anemia without the best tools at the medical profession's disposal. It's not the medical profession's fault that blood well fits that purpose - blood was designed to oxygenate the human body in the first place. 

Anyway, it's still sad. One can applaud the boy's faith, but unfortunately it found expression in a deeply flawed interpretation that made his sacrifice so unnecessary.

    • By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.
    • The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.
    • FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.

      Hello, Darlene, I just love your name, I had a cousin named Darline, and had a classmate also named Darlene! It's a pleasure to know another Darlene! Especially a Spiritual Sister! There's some websites, Ministry Ideaz , JW Stuff.com, and Etsy that I use to order my yearly buttons for the Conventions! They always send me what I order, and their also Jehovah's Witnesses, that send us the merchandise we order!  You can check out these websites, and they might have what your looking for! I hope I have been helpful in assisting you, Darlene! Agape love, Shirley!😀
