That BS that Coumadin is hardly used. The other stuff is more dangerous.

It can also be used in a cocktail for cancer patients.

Maybe she has kidney problems also which would be an issue with the newer drugs.

Exactly. My wife takes Coumadin, and her cardiologist is hardly a 60's doc.

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!!!!

It is used only on cheap insurance plans with chintzy formularies that don't want to pay the costs of the more modern and more manageable drugs, which are expensive compared to a generically available drug such as Coumadin.

Did you see that the Clinton campaign is claiming that the big black dude that always steps toward her when she seems to be in distress with what seems to be a gas powered injection device, is, according to them merely holding an ordinary LED flashlight. . . always. . . in broad daylight. . . or on brightly lit stages. . . ever at the ready, in case of sudden darkness, to light the candidates steps? Right. Sure.
