Which makes me always wonder: IV carries always the risk of thrombosis so I'd expect especially medical personnel staying away from it. But maybe they take also good dose of Warfarin with it...

IVs don't really carry a meaningful risk of systemic thrombosis, so taking warfarin would not put you in a good place on the cost/benefit axis.
