    I have a personal friend who had a minor heart attack years back that his doctor blamed on his "thick" blood. The video makes me wonder at what point does it become dangerous to the doctor?

    I think some of the danger lies if there are hidden condition or for some of us, genetic disorders. I still see a lot of the TRT gurus advocate maintaining an in range hematocrit and hemoglobin as long as ferritin and TIBC are in check.


    Edit: That's one reason you see the extra tests on my results when discussing labs. I'll throw the D-Dimer or PT/INR, C-reactive protein, and complete iron panel in there to keep a grip on things/keep the heart from shooting the crapper again.
