Before I begin my low-dose aspirin regimen after surgery, I'm thinking that I'll want to have plenty of clotting factor DURING surgery so that I don't bleed out on the table while the docs are performing procedures on the nurses. A pan or two of mac and cheese sounds about right.
It's still kind of confusing though. They don't want you to bleed through the stitches, but they don't want all those post-surgery clots to hook up like a freight train gathering steam downhill into your pulminary system.
Damn it, do they actually have it both ways by giving you conflicting warnings? I can imagine during cross at the malpractice trial being asked, "Had you not been advised by the doctor to do the thing you did not do and instead did that other thing the doctor told you to do only if you wanted to turn your bloodstream into a colloid?"
