Default stopping Plavix and ASA in prep before EMG

Question:

How many days is it normal to stop ASA before EMG, and Plavix?
I know the prescribeing doc needs to order this, and the performing doc needs to be informed. But there is resally poor communication, and I seem to be the initiater always to get things done the right way.
I looked up different sites, and from previous experience, I think Plavix 3 - 5 /7 days, and ASA 3 days? depending on the individual risk.
(I had problem getting a hold of the docs, but will try again tomorrow)
