Six months ago I was placed on Coumadin due to complications after surgery. My doctor stll does not have my situation under control. He has been informed many times that I am leaving for the DR on April 22nd, however, he doesn't get the fact that I'm leaving the country for 6 weeks and can't go for blood tests. My question to those of you who live in Puerto Plata is - Is there a doctor that I could see for INR blood readings? Just preparing in advance in case my doctor asks me this on Wed. when I see him. I was told originally that I would no longer be taking blood thinners by now, however, my blood seems to be getting thicker not thinner. No jokes about thick blood please. This is a serious question.
