My mother went in the hospitol for kidney failure, the doctor perscribed heprin, and she had a hemrojik stroke (thinned the lining of the blood vessels in the head and broke), she has had to undergo 2 brain surgeries in a 24 hr period, with in 24-48 hours of her getting the Heprin. I was told that this medication is only used as a last resort when all else has failed, is this true and was this stroke preventable? She has been unresponsive and on a resperator struggling for her life ever since, it has been almost 1 month now since all of this started.
