Heart trouble

Warfarin is the genetic version of Coumadin. The anti coag clinics
around Duke University Hospital like to Rx Coumadin since they say its
results are a little more predictable -- fewer batch to batch
variations.

When I was a kid on the farm Warfarin was in the bait we set out for the
rats (not that I am implying anything here). Sorry to hear this CJ.

Oh good. Rat poison. Maybe I could save a ton of money by a trip out to
the garage...

another botulinum toxin appointment at 10:00 tomorrow morning."

Check out Aviatrix's blog (particularly the archives from 3-6 months
ago) for similar comments and one pilot's experience with Warfarin.
Take her account with a grain of salt, however, as she's Canadian, and
their medical standards are apparently far more strict than in the US.

I had the same problem as her this winter but in the USA. Things are much
better hre, from pilot's pint of view. You can get a special issuance
medical even while on coumadin - it requires 4 INR test withing the target
range out 5 in the last month before getting the medical. Once you're off
it, you still need a special issuance but you need different blood work -
pretty much anything related to blood coagulation, which may be a bit
expensive. Since I was on the coumadin only for 3 months, I just waited to
get off it and went for my medical after that - currently I have a non-
restricted class 1. So it's certainly better and easier for pilots here
than in Canada. And good luck your heart problems!

It was used because it causes massive and fatal bleeding in the rats.

In addition to expert pilot, FAA representative, and breast feeding
instructor he's now a pharmacologist?

No, simply well informed.

No, you're an idiot who thinks he knows a lot more than he does, and has an
overinflated ego.
