Also, I was due to see my cardiologist in less than a week. The Warfarin would have barely kicked in by that time. They put me on higher doses than I thought necessary, bu it was only a few days. I'm armed now should another Dr. be concerned.Leah J.

He said to go with my 'knowing' as it was most often correct.<br /><br />So, your 'knowing' Leah is working quite well, and it's unfortunate the local doctor took the steps he did. In Ontario there is medical information available to all doctors online on a patient who agrees to this sharing. That might have helped in your case.<br /><br />I fairly cringed when I read you were on Low dose aspirin and then the doctor prescribed warfarin.<br /><br />I'm glad there's a happy ending.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-39222611370006683332010-06-01T06:54:20.303-06:002010-06-01T06:54:20.303-06:00Brad, thanks so much.
