Coumandin does have more side effects than the newer agents. I managed coumadin therapy for patients in our anticoagulation clinic for many years. It is a good drug but newer drugs are better for "most indications." However their are two conditions that demand Coumadin for antcoagulation therapy.
1. Heart Valve Replacement.
2. Renal failure so severe that you need dialysis.

Hillary has one of these conditions or her doctors are treating her with sub optimal care.

She can afford the finest doctors in the world. What the hell are we really treating in her case? Something is not right about her story!!!!
