This is my way of thinking about it.
Make sure you are well informed. Weigh risk/benefits.If you decide not to reveal the clotting problem you are effectively taking personal responsibilty for any possible adverse effects. If you are willing to take that responsibility that is your choice.
You have removed control by not to giving that Dr. possibly relevant info. You are now, to a large degree, your own Dr. It would be unethical now to hold him responsible for any harm.
I'm not against that approach, have done it myself.
I think a person has a right to make these decisions about their life but we cannot have it both ways.
