Question:
MY DR.said that there was something wrong with my pt's. Did I do something?

Is there something that I did? Will he cancel my surgery? Never had a problem before. I'm panicing I don't want surgery canceled. I see blod Dr in 5 days is there anything that I can do to fix this problem. Nurse said that my blood may be to thin or that the lab maade a mistake. Any help???    — KELLY R.

Im not sure from your question if you understand what PT is the initials stand for Prothrombin Time, which is a lab test that tells the doctor how quickly your blood will clot. Of course this is very important when going into a surgery. Vitamin K can be given to increase blood clotting, and there are also medications available to thin your blood, to prevent clotting. Without knowing if your PT is high or low makes your question difficult to answer.
