Mad Cow Disease is not spread through blood. It is pryons (abnormal proteins) go into your brain and screw up the normal proteins than reproduce.

Mad cow disease is spread by eating brains and protein-high muscle mass from animals, not blood. 

Oh yes, I remember now.. but.. how can blood transfusions spread mad cow disease then?

Ignore what I said, go back to original post:

She states that they denied her blood because she might have mad cow.. so isnt that a stupid reason to then? since mad cow doesnt transfer via blood
