Great article.
Blood clots, DVTS and PE, are the leading cause of preventable deaths in a hospital. Before you enter a hospital, your risk factors for developing a blood clot must be assessed and the preventative steps assessed. Medication, compression stockings, and other methods may be necessary. In many cases, a blood clot that develops in a hospital is a product of medical malpractice.
