He was taken to the nearest private hospital so could not use his E111. It cost him 4000 Euros for a two day stay including a 1000 Euros for blood transfusions. He checked out on day two as he could not afford to stay longer. In his 70's and on Warfarin he could not get insurance.

He needs to have some more tests yet but hopes to be going back on to Warfarin soon as he comes from a family with a very bad cardiac record.
There is another older drug similar to Warfarin called Acenocoumarol (Sinthrome). One doctor suggested that I try it in the hope that it would not cause joint pain. The Warfarin nurse at the surgery and my GP had not heard of it nor had either of the cardiologists assked. It seems that Warfarin is prefered as more is known about it but of course it is known here:

I stopped Warfarin after each of my two successful cardioversions due to severe pain in weight bearing joints and went back to aspirin.
When I told my GP he said that I was the third person that week to stop taking it. The other two were one because of a bleed and the other due to severe bruising. I'm recently back in AF so will soon reluctantly be back on Warfarin if I want another cardioversion or more hopefully an ablation.
The stroke on Warfarin will cause more bleeding and can also cause an
intracranial hemorrhage.
Findings published by the Canadian Medical Association.:
"In randomised clinical trials between one and three per cent of people on warfarin suffer a bleed per year. An observational trial of 125,000 people, with an average age of 66, taking warfarin in real life for atrial fibrillation, showed that almost four per cent suffered a bleed per year.
The complication rate was even higher during the first 30 days of treatment when almost 12 per cent suffered a bleed.
Over five years, almost 11,000 of the group, around nine per cent, went to hospital with a bleed and 1,963, or almost a fifth of them died."
