If you are bruising easily speak to your cardiologist; they may be able to adjust the dosing of your medications to try to reduce that adverse side effect of your meds.
Good luck,

DD - Roger all. I watched the clips Saca sent, read Doc T's comments, did some independant Google-Fu, and figured out it wasn't for me (or anyone in similar straits - warfarin/coumadin OD would be a different animal). Back to the original issue - coagulopathy isn't something I would expect an 18D to successfully treat in the field. The only place I could imagine using it would be in an ICU. I can't believe the price of it either. It has been interesting learning about it though. Peregrino
