TRUFAX:
I got my first-ever legit push in a wheelchair by a hospital porter today. Bloody great, it was, but it was only a coupla hundred yards.
It was still the highlight of 6 hours waiting around in the hospital for a total of less than 10 mins' medical attention.
It's another bloodclot/ deep vein thrombosis, only this time the consultant told me I should be on warfarin FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
If I was mongychops I'd post a pic of my comically-swollen thigh, but I still retain a certain amount of inhibition.
(Mind you, I was so bored in the waiting room today I nearly biro'd a CDC on said thigh)

Just stop taking the drugs, wait for the bloodclot, then vigorously pummel the clotted part 'til a piece of clot breaks off and blocks off yr heart.
Job's a good 'un.

Also, you could up your warfarin dose and bleed to death.

Although I think consuming enormous quantities of garlic has a similar blood-thinning effect.

(actually, that throws up an interesting question: what actually happens to a body if nobody wants to / is able to cough up the cash for a cheap [£850-ish, I think] crematorium corpse disposal? Anyone know?)

It's a good job I'll have rotted away to bones and dust before anyone suspects anything out of the ordinary.
