Yesterday my patient on the operating table bled buckets. He wasn't on blood thinners-no explanations.🤷♂️
After surgery he told me he was taking a herbal concoction of Ginger, Garlic, Turmeric & Asafoetida thrice daily to prevent covid.
Need to change my Pre-op instructions. 🤦♂️
Since many are asking.
Pre op bloods were done 3 weeks back. BT, CT, PT, aPTT, INR were all within normal limits. Considering no co-morbidities the blood work wasn't repeated just before surgery. Hadn't considered this history.
Fenugreek seeds. One more to the list.
