[NEED MORE INFO]ICU can't do blood transfusion?

I had lost countless patients with easy to treat problem and a simple blood transfusion will suppress the symptom that cause them collapse or death, while the ICU doc and nurse just sit at the computer and do nothing, and once in a while the nurse go check on the patient but no additional treatment done.

This occur quite often but not all ICU patient
