How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Anti CooquIotion Druos
BY DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Many readers are mixed
UP about whether or not to
take blood thinners for
months after a coronary
attack. They wonder If it is
worth all the trouble and
expense Of going to the doc
tors office once or twice a
week for blood tests.
THE EVIDENCE that is
slowly piling up certainly
seems to indicate that the one
who will patiently take these
treatments and tests has a,
better chance of surviving.
Twenty-Five years ago, we
were not interested in the
thickness or thinness of the
patients blood. We gave him
something to control the
severe pain, also oxygen and
various stimulants. Then we
waited and hoped for the
best, keeping him a bed pris-
oner for two or three months.
Times have changed. AS
soon as the diagnosis of a
coronary thrombosis has
been made, an estimate of
the patients "prothrombin
time" is made. Then we give
dicumarol of heparin to thin
the blood to prevent COM
plicationS and recurrent at
tacks.
When first used, daily
blood tests were taken and
this medicine given for only
a few weeks. We stopped the
procedure when the patient
seemed to be out Of danger.
But later, many studies in
dicated that these measures
should be kept UP for years.
Once your doctor sizes up
the situation, you have to see
him only once or twice a
month for prothrombin tests.
How much dicumarol or Cou-
marin you need will depend
upon your blood readings.
Not only have the blood
Evening star., 1961-03-03

thinners been helpful in
treating actual coronary
thrombosis, newer studies
show that taking them re-
gularly if you are an angina
patient, will often pervent
you from coming down with
an attack of thrombosis. At
least, it will defer it.
Some doctors are not yet
convinced that blood thin
ners should be used in every
coronary patient, but others
use them routinely. There is
a larger group who treat
coronary thrombosis and an
gina pectoris as a special
problem each time they see a
new case. They don't believe
in wholesale treatment. They
tailor the treatment for each
new patient.
I think this is the best way.
Some patients are endan-
gered when they take blood
thinners. They may have
bleeding tendencies or a
stomach, ulcer which contra
indicates such treatment.
Each patients treatment
must be chosen by his own
doctor, who knows all of the
ifs and butts.

be so cruel? Johnny is IA

first year of high school.
Lately, however, he keeps to
himself, hardly ever goes out,
and even thinks up excuses
to stay home from classes.
The reason is a gang of bull

a bad acne condition on his
face.
The skin trouble isn't new.

before we moved to this
street. It's being treated, but
is responding very slowly.
I don't know how to help
John. Accompanying him to
school, I'm afraid, would
make matters worse. Maybe
I ought to give those igno-
rant boys a good talking-to.
Or call a cop.
John B.-I took plenty of
CUFF from kids in my old
street when I was 10 and
wore braces on my teeth. 1t
wasn't bad, though, because
lots of kids wear braces and
everyone knows 1t won't be
for long.
