Stroke Prevention
If you are taking oral anti-coagulants (medication to avoid blood-clotting), doctors at your local health clinic are responsible to keep an eye on your general health and to evaluate your risk factors in order to decide whether or not you can monitor your therapy on your own or need a doctor to keep closer tabs on your situation.
The regional health service has designed a clear protocol for doctors to follow when dealing with a patients who are taking this type of medication orally and this states that you should have a personalised plan for your therapy as well as follow-up visits and that your condition should be monitored.
As always, you are dealing with a public health system. Ask for what you believe you need and insist on getting it.
