You cant get a conclusive answer on blood clots from a blood test alone...in fact a blood test tells you very little, its a cheap way of the nurses brushing off patients,,,,.you need to get a proper scan on the dopler machine in the hospital. Ensure the doctor gets you on the dopler and insist you simply wont get off the phone until this is agreed. I doubt they operate these machines after 5pm though
if nayone at the hospital brushes you off do not accept it. Do not get off the phone until you have this booked in. Ask the doctor what are your options and perhaps he will put you on wafrin for afew days until you get the scan. Once you then know if its a clot or not they will decide on the thickness of the warfarin needed.
Once your on that you should then be ok. I have one mate who is on it for life. He got brushed off several times by usless nurses before he got a scan on a dopler
then wortry about complaininvg about these heartless incompetent b******s at a later date
ps im not medically qualified just have a bit of experience in this area, as most of us do. Keep us updated and good luck
