Ain't It Ironic - Cheney Will Probably Get Rat Poison
Atrial fibrillation can cause stroke. To cut the risk, victims are usually givin wafarin (aka Coumadin) - which is a type of rat poison that diminishes the coagulation of blood.

Rat Poison. Couldn't be better targeted!

8. Coumadin is amazing stuff
In the right dose for the right reason, it's a real life saver.

13. Atrial fibrillation was one of the potential causes they had to eliminate in my TIAs.
Edited on Tue Nov-27-07 01:21 AM by TahitiNut
That was quite a "crash course" in strokes last week. Funny how quickly we can learn when it gets personal. I'm quite happy to not be on coumadin ... and taking Bufferin instead.

21. He's already ON rat poison because of his clots
This guy is on borrowed time. He's got some serious health issues, which, individually are bad enough, but if you combine them -- perfect storm.

22. In video games, you kill the undead by healing them.
I wonder if that would work here.
