Is It Suggestible To Use Blood Thinners For Reattached Left Hand?
Hi Doctor, my husband was 51 years old. In 2007 he had an unfortunate accident where his left hand was cut off. The doctor was able to reattach it but he could no longer use it. He developed high blood pressure. When he and I got together in 2010 his blood pressure was ok but he was still on medication for it. He had about 11 surgeries on that hand. He had a muscle taken from his right thigh and put on his left hand. My question is should he had been on blood thinners?
