GI Specialist

[dissociative]

We went to the GI specialist yesterday, actually saw his nurse practioner not the doctor. Basically she said I need a colonoscopy and something else to check my stomach too. But she said the dr wont do either while Im taking coumadin. The risk of bleeding is too high. So she was going to call my primary dr and see if I can stop the coumadin for like 5 days, and then go back on it after they do the tests. If my dr or the coumadin clinic says no then I have to wait 2 more months before the GI dr can do the tests.
