Trey Smith status?

Well you were talking about negligence by the school and I just wanted to assure you that no one will be negligent in this situation just for the sake of getting a good football player back on the field for UT.

The team doctors are school employees aren't they? That was my line of thinking.

Yes but they also have a Hippocratic as well as a board that certifies them, they don't just serve the schools needs to benefit the school's demands and on top of that like I said in the original post, they will get a second opinion from a specialist when someone has a broken bone or torn ligament let alone when someone's life might hang in the balance. Anyways I wasn't trying to be a jerk, you just seemed misinformed as if you thought the school would push their Doc's to clear him or something but ultimately it will be up to several physicians and Trey Smith whether he will play again, not UT.

No worries, I think you just read way too much into my comment haha. Thank you for the information though!

I’ve been taking eliquis for over 2 years , the only dietary restriction you have are not eating grapefruit. It apparently can change the way eliquis is metabolized. You can eat as much vitamin K foods as you like.

Grapefruit juice interferes with quite a few meds. Several Statins (cholesterol meds), calcium channel blockers (BP meds), and psych meds interact poorly with it.

From what I understand, talking with my doctor when I had to take anticoagulants (about a year), Coumadin/Warfarin requires you to watch/monitor your diet due to greens (vitamin K). Vitamin K basically acts as an antidote to the anticoagulant. Xarelto and Eliquis on the other hand give you a freer hand on diet as they basically don't have an antidote. I'm not real sure about the Eliquis, but Xarelto leaves you pretty screwed as it has no effective counter drug other than a transfusion if you start bleeding out.

I think some reversal agents are starting to come out for Eliquis and Xarelto. I’m almost positive at least Xarelto does

That would be great. When I was taking Xarelto a couple years ago, my Dr. advised me I should probably stop scuba diving and slow down my workouts at the gym and any other "risky" activities due to the lack of any reversal for Xarelto at that time. Luckily I no longer take anti-coagulants. I had a one time unexplained DVT that cleared using Xarelto. I chose the Xarelto option simply because I was too lazy to modify my diet for the other drugs and the constant monitoring required.
