Lupus Anti-Coagulant

[johntara04]

I am currently a dental student. A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with Lupus Anti-Coagulant. I was wondering if any of you guys had any info on the disease, or places where I could go and research it more so I have a more thorough background on the disease. Thanks in advance.

Agree, but the TOS is silent on legal advice and very explicit on the medical advice restrictions. I think it's assumed that no one is going to seek legal advice on a health oriented board.
