No, you're an idiot who thinks he knows a lot more than he does, and has an
overinflated ego. |

Here's something from the prescribing information page of: http://www.bms.com/cgi-bin/anybin.pl...SEQ=91&key=PPI DESCRIPTION COUMADIN (crystalline warfarin sodium) is an anticoagulant which acts by inhibiting vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors. Chemically, it is 3-(-acetonylbenzyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin and is a racemic mixture of the R- and S-enantiomers. Crystalline warfarin sodium is an isopropanol clathrate. The crystallization of warfarin sodium virtually eliminates trace impurities present in amorphous warfarin. Its empirical formula is C19 H15 NaO4, and its structural formula may be represented by the following: Looking at this, it sure looks like warfarin is the generic name and Coumadin is the brand name. At least to me.... -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |

How long you won't be able to fly depends on too much information to glean here. But, when I was in practice, I had a number of patients who had atrial fibrillation who qualified for 2nd and 3rd class Medicals. I don't know about 1st class Medicals -- but that's only because I did not see anyone for whom that was an issue. You will be best off having this treated by a Cardiologist and, if you can find one who is also a pilot, that would be ideal. --ron |

Just in the past month I've talked with two pilots who have their medical back after heart surgery. One has a pacemaker and the other had a triple bypass. The triple bypass gentleman rebuilds Cubs. He had a Super Cub completed and was running the engine up when he had his heart attack. He passed out but the airplane took off, climbed to about 400 feet and then veered over and crashed. Roger broke most of his bones in the crash...............but called me about 2 months ago with the good news about his medical. He is selling his Skywagon. It's a good one. Never been wrecked. I bought it brand new in 1969. After your episode is over, I know you are looking for a plane! Karl I am looking for a plane anyway! -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |

Ah, guys. Really. No need to argue about whether people want to be
helpful or not. I will end up following my doctor's advice anyway. Sorry to hear about all this, CJ. It's funny, we all feel so invulnerable, yet in reality we're just a heartbeat away from being grounded. Just last week a friend of mine -- an A&P mechanic and pilot -- was driving down I-380 with his family when his headache became much worse, and he lost control of the left side of his body. He was able to pull over, and his wife called 911. He was conscious the whole time, but sounded drunk because he couldn't make his mouth work right. The first responders were a police unit, who (being July 4th) immediately suspected drunk driving. Only the paramedics were able to determine that he was having a stroke, and whisked him to the hospital. With immediate treatment he recovered (he was back at work three days later, against doctors orders) amazingly quickly, but he won't be flying again any time soon. (Last year he had a mild heart attack -- he's only 42, and isn't over-weight.) Hang in there, CJ. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
