I was wondering about the veracity of the article myself. The statement about the doctor recommending “ibuprofen until the bleeding stops” either means the doctor was an incompetent hack who doesn’t know ibuprofen is a blood thinner or the story was made up. The former is certainly possible.
Wouldn’t classify Ibuprofen as a blood thinner...but it may prolong bleeding time...but if the doc recommended it, ....that would not have been very wise on the docs part.
