And especially if it extends into the veins in the pelvis. Calf clot should resolve with blood thinners. Feel free to bm me with questions. I treat dvt and do vein procedures all the time.

I guess I didn’t realize PCPs have to take marching orders like that.

Couldn't override orthopedists decision? That's a load of bull.

Not getting the tests is way worse for liability

Yeah, I don't think this is very true. Litigation has pushed a lot of clinicians

No. They’re hesitant because of cost and false positives.

The veins in your calf are too small for the roto router thing to go in

FYI- no life saving procedure there. Chronic clot is organized. Not breaking off

Prob not life saving but can significantly improve quality of life

gtown

12/15/18 9:16am

Yep. Definitely not “life saving” though easy to frame that to patients

cougfanz

12/15/18 9:26am

Totally agree with what you said.

Don’t feel bad. Where did you get your surgery done?

gtown

12/15/18 9:25am

No harm done (unless u get a crazy bill).. might make u feel better

cougfanz

Nice response. Happy you got it fixed.
