[QUOTE="Muddy Cyclist, post: 2269307, member: 505893"] I can only relate to an experience I had with an older friend a few years ago whilst skiing in Switzerland. Friend had a sudden nose bleed on the slopes, it would not stop and eventually ended up in a Swiss hospital. The doctors were unable to stop the bleed and friend could not fly because of bleed and so was transported back to his home by ambulance via his travel insurance company. He was admitted to hospital in England and eventually the bleed was stopped and he was taken off asprin. The one thing that really stuck in my mind was the reaction of the Swiss Doctors to the UK NHS's insistence of prescribing Aspirin. They spoke of Incompetence, irresponsibility and where quite outraged by the frequency of this drug, in their opinion, being missused and inappropriately handed out to thin blood, in the UK. I am not a medical person but having seen the reaction of these Swiss doctors and the state my friend found themselves in I would certainly question my GP if prescribed Aspirin. [/QUOTE]
