A: When you book your call over a week hence.
Dyno-Rod treat any visit that is less than one week away as an emergency, and charge more for it. I think this is grabbing the pee a bit. Surely normal office hours or "When is the next free appointment" should not be an emergency? Rant over.
Slight problems with my INR this week, up to 4.1. I worried for a second and then remembered that this was a 'fasting' check for my lipid count as well. Thirteen hours with only water can do all sorts to you blood. I suspect I will now be in and out of the surgery for a month until it settles again. Roll on the new drug that dispenses with the need for warfarin and the subsequent blood sample testing.
I've just read up on this drug and I now realise how expensive it is, £2.50 per day! Warfarin is nearer £12.00 per year. I suspect we will all be on warfarin for a long time to come, sigh!
