You don't come off as cocky just oblivious to the fact that you aren't the only one with experience in a healthcare field or a degree in a healthcare field. We have several doctors on here as well so what you want a cookie because your parents are? Let me catch my breath.

What's annoying is that you make the interaction between loop diuretics and NSAIDS sound very common and very deadly. It isn't that common and if you don't think that doctors don't prescribe both classe of drugs concomitantly for patients then you might want to study harder.

Then you give advice that taking the diuretic will help. It's too much to take a diuretic and increase fluid intake and if the employer is willing to pay for it, they can check for diuretics. The labs aren't stupid. If you don't believe me google Kevin and Pat Williams and Starcaps.
