Just a note that the direct-acting oral anti-coagulants (DOACs) like rivaroxaban and apixaban are not blood 'thinners'. They are, as I just stated, anti-coagulants. They retard the clotting mechanism, but they don't entirely prevent it. As a person on Eliquis for eight years now, I still clot when I bleed. It just takes longer.
