From Warren KD4GUA:
This Sunday we will discuss, by demand, "DEEP
VENOUS THROMBOSIS." The three factors of Virchow's triad,
venous stasis, hypercoagulability, changes in the endothelial wall,
result in "DVTs."
When in Med school, we had a
professor who exhibited Virchow's triad and he demanded that his inferior vena
cava be tied off to prevent pulmonary emboli....no one would do it--but one
surgeon! He lived a normal life span with "piano legs!" He
was an unpleasant site in shorts but he had the guts to save his own life--he
was a pathologist.
Tune in should be fun
time.
