For an ex-neurosurgical registrar your post seems rather vague, sensationalist and devoid of factual evidence. Could you be more specific?
- Did they fall over because they were taking aspirin which made them unsteady?
- Did they fall over because they were taking aspirin which killed them?
- Did they fall on their heads and bleed to death?
- What was the red jelly? Are you talking 'blood clot'? Did aspirin do that?
- What kind of dose rate did these poor unfortunates use?
Finally, is there a 'practicing' pathologist out there who can enlighten the likes of myself? I've been taking 75mg aspirin/day for 15 years and I've never heard any stories like BelfastChild's.
