October 13th is World Thrombosis Day. Thrombosis is the development of a blood clot. Life threatening conditions like Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) can result from thrombosis. More people die each year from DVT and PE than AIDS, breast cancer and car crashes combined. If you know the facts and understand the symptoms, you can SAVE A LIFE.
