Peeved at Plavix

One of what seems like the dozens of medications prescribed for me is something called Plavix, which is an anticoagulant. I don't doubt that it is a good thing for my cardiovascular health, but it causes really annoying side effects. For one, a minor scratch can bleed and bleed and bleed. A nick while shaving is much harder to stop bleeding than pre-Plavix. A scrape on my knuckle can result in blood flowing down my hand. In short, Plavix turns minor scratches and nicks into big headaches. I guess I can live with it, though.
