Of blood tests and pills

We're taking dad in for another blood test tomorrow afternoon. His regular check on the coumadin levels in his blood stream. I'm not sure if I mentioned it before or not, but when he went in to see the doctor at the hospital the guys said to pull dad off the coumadin for three days and then restart him at a significantly lower dose than he was taking.

The next morning the Alaska Heart Institute was on the phone to us saying they had got the daily report on patients from the hospital and saw dad's name on it and wanted to be dang sure that we did not do what that guy at the hospital said because the coumadin level was exactly where it should be and we was to keep him on the pill schedule that the Alaska Heart Institute had prescribed.

Kind of makes me even more leery of the medications that the guy had said dad should be taking. Can't wait to get dad in to see his regular doctor and see what she has to say about all of it.
