I am going thru Guelph.  I've heard others talking about getting a prescription for blood thinners to take home.

Does everyone have to buy them or does it depend on your situation? Or is each center have a different policy?

The nurse in guelph assesses your risk of getting a blood clot depending on your score determines whether you need to stay on blood thinner after you are discharged. Everyone gets them while in the hospital.
