Help or advice - Planning to start my own business!

[marusia]

Hello everyone! I am a registered nurse in Canada. I am planning on starting my own business that will focus on Autohemotherapy. This method is widely used in Europe as an alter.native form of medicine. The goal of autohemotherapy is to boost the immune system's ability to fight germs. A small amount of blood is withdrawn from the vein of a patient and then injected back IM to the patient.

What I am looking forward on doing is to open my private business involving this particular procedure. I will recieve a written concent from the patient(s), withdraw a particular amount of blood (Not more than 10ml), and inject the same blood to the same patient. I am already in the process of advertising myself and have a substantial amount of people that would like to go through with this treatment. This procedure will be practiced in an already licensed health clinic.

I would appreciate any help or advice, and please tell me if you think I am eligible to do it by law.

I think you should contact the board of nursing for your province.

I'd also talk to a lawyer.

Are you going to do this without physician direction? Moved to Canadian Nursing forum to elicit further response. Perhaps check with your provincial college of nursing and if you have a malpractice /liability carrier.
