I came to Utah for my regular every other week biopsy on my new little heart.
The Biopsy went great...
BUT after an ultra sound, to find why they had such a hard time getting the catheter to go in my neck, they discovered that my body is full of BLOOD CLOTS...
How crazy right??? So, I am getting to spend a couple of days in the hospital on Heparin.
I had been on Coumidin for the 6 yrs from my heart attack until my transplant. Before they did my transplant they did a BUNCH of blood clot factor testing and everything came up negative. So, I came off it.
The Phlebotomy Dr. came in and visited and said that they have really ran pretty much all the tests that should be ran. The end recommendation would be the same if they choose to run a bunch more tests...I will be on Coumidin the rest of my life...
No biggy...right?
So, my question is...do you HAVE to have a specific name when you have health problems or are you OK with knowing how to treat and resolve with our a Clinical name?
