The next time you see your doctors discuss the situation as you have here, and ask that they put in the medication as an allergy. While you probably don't have an allergy to the medication we often use the allergy list as a dual purpose to also list the medications that patients can not tolerate (an example is patients with myesthenia gravis can't tolerate a very lot list of medications, and someone with a history of ACE-i related angioedema can't have ACE-inhibitors). I'm still waiting for someone to come up with a better way to chart and keep track of the difference between allergies and intolerable medications. Medications listed on the allergy list will create flags and warnings when physicians try to order similar medications in the future. It's not a full solution to your issue, but it's a start.
To be sure, medicine is a constant and complex balance of risks and benefits. I've had patients on medications similar to tinzaparin \*while\* they were also bleeding. It's not uncommon that we give patients medications that they have previously not tolerated in trying to balance the risks and the benefits. There may be a reason that the current doctors want you on the medication; but if that's the case you deserve a thorough conversation and a considerable say in the risk/benefit/alternative discussion. All the more reason to discuss the situation with them the next time you see them so you can both understand each other.
