Dang our evil plans were close to fruition

That's scary stuff. I don't really know anything about these. Do you know how

Could you feel it? How did you know?

Had ACL reconstruction a couple years ago.

Welcome back.

Every sign you just described is textbook DVT sign

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.

I'm guessing they placed an IVC filter first

Yes, Interventional Radiologist.

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

We really only treat clot that extends through the whole leg

My office manager died of a DVT a few months ago

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.

12/15/18 9:21am

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

12/15/18 9:29am

Nice response. Happy you got it fixed.
