when i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung,h. it was serious. fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. treatment with xarelto®. hey guys! hey, finally, somebody i can look up to... ...besides arnie. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there's limited information

on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto®. nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto® is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions.

treatment with xarelto®... ...was the right move for us. ask your doctor abrelto®. good morning, america. ben carson's fighting words. the republican front-runner lashing out overnight against allegations that stories about his past don't add up. >> wait a minute. don't lie. >> was he really offered a west point scholarship? the candidate's fiery responses this morning. breaking overnight, officers arrested for murder. their hail of bullets cutting down a young boy and this father. >> 6 years old. he didn't deserve to die like that. >> the dad wounded. why did the cops open fire on their suv? hostage drama. the manager forced to rob his own bank. his family held at gunpoint in their home. the chilling 911 calls and a strange twist. why did the gunman apologize?
