You know if Alan stopped his Plavix without his doctor's release, to have another doctor do a "procedure" and he then had a heart attack, the surgeon could be liable for being sued. This is to protect the surgeon, NOT Alan.

Here is a typical pre-procedure guide:

It is interesting that the OTC things including aspirin are not included. I know a gal who had one in her neck, and the doctor hit a hemangioma, and she bled into the spinal canal and was severely injured as a result.

I'd call the doctor's office just to make sure.
