Thanks for sharing that, Martin.

Did you report that to the State oversight agency? That would be a serious regulatory violation... that the treating hospital would surely pay dearly for, IMO.

I've made a note to check with our (small) local hospital to learn whether or not they have on hand antidotes to whatever blood thinners I take.

Of course, it's possible I could have a bleeding problem (including a cerebral hemorrhage - i.e., bleeding from either a stroke or head injury) at some other location, at least, it's prudent to check what's available at my nearest hospital.

Too often patients (and their doctors) forget there are two kinds of strokes - ischemic and hemorrhagic . Even though only ~15% of strokes are hemorrhagic ( and blood thinners protect fairly well against the ischemic kinds) , for patients taking anti-coagulants, bleeding strokes are far deadlier.
