What medication could they be talking about.
Clinton wouldn't have been on coumadin?

There are several medications he may have been taking. May be Plavix (The
Super Aspirin) Or Just plain aspirin. It takes several days for aspirin
to
leave the system. No way to reverse it.


Typically, our cardiothoracic surgery colleagues are not bothered by the
presence of aspirin so that would not have been the reason for delaying
the bypass surgery.


Coumadin can be reversed by use of
Vitamin K.


We typically use FFP to reverse the lack of clotting factors caused by
warfarin(Coumadin).
