Beneficial Bleeding

[Guest]

I was shopping this afternoon when a guy came up to me and said, "Hey Al, do you remember my Dad". It took a few seconds to make the association but I did. "That warfarin saved his life", he continued.

"You mean when he had his stroke?', I asked.

"No after you retired. He had some bleeding when he had a bowel movement. The doctor stopped his warfarin and scoped him. They found a tiny little spot of colon cancer and removed it. He is doing well now."

This is the third time I have known someone that had this happen.

Perhaps so, but whenever you can or get enough of a break, swing by. This forum isn't the same without you.

When I first saw this Subject Line with the Famous "AL Lodwick" signature line, I envisioned you inside a shop with a Barber Pole at the door, holding a Straight Razor ))

You led me to this site originally when you answered a question re Lovenox.
Thanks for the answer and leading me here-Dina
(Now off Lovenox and Coumadin)

No, they used leeches on Geo. Washington.

Yes, and gave him garlic and ginger for anti-coagulation.
Though I think by the 1700's they were using the 'fleam' to bleed
patients........
Maybe Ive read too many historical novels

I've also been happy to see our favorite rat poison expert around here more!

I've missed you guys, too.

Speaking of rat poison --
WhenI was giving my seminars a few months ago, the person int the next room was speaking on autism. It was from the same company that I work with so you couldn't tell if the attendees were in the right place by the look of the brochure. I came up with a plan for separating them. I told my registration assistant to ask if they were here for the rat poison class. If they laugh, sign them up. If they have a blank stare on their face, send them to autism.
