Hi, All,
I've tried to convince my cardiologist to allow me to purchase one of the machines, but he won't allow it, saying that he's never had a patient monitor his/her own INR/Protime and that it would be a huge liability to him. I'm 38 yrs. old, have been on Coumadin for five years now, and can pretty much tell the nurse how to adjust my own dose. (She supports my decision, by the way.)Do any of you have any suggestions as to how to persuade a reluctant doctor? Sherry
