I was hospitalized and I was taking aspirin prior the nurse was taking blood from me and noticed my blood was thin and she asked if I was taking aspirin.
My question is does taking aspirin work just as well as a blood thinner?

Its an anti coagulant but probably not as much as if you're taking a drug that is specific for that like warfarin or xarelto
