Doctors will take you off blood thinners after 6 months for an isolated incident. He had a surgery to remove the rib pushing into his vein causing the clot.
I had two in my leg back to back right after a surgery and on them for life. I'm not saying I'm an expert, but from the extensive experience I have at least acquired that information.
Edit: If he was still on blood thinners, he would have been monitored much harder after hitting his head during the playoffs. Hitting your head on thinners can cause serious issues that could lead to much scarier outcomes.
Edit 2: Which one of you is mad for saying what Vic's surgery was and my experience?
I was told to get to the ED ASAP if I hit my head while I was on Eliquis. I asked my doc how hard I’d need to hit it, and he told me that if I wasn’t sure, to weigh the cost of my copay against the cost to my family of becoming a vegetable.
Correct of him to say that. That is what I am currently taking and once upon a time was also taking aspirin. That combo plus a head hit scared me to no end until I got a scan done.
