Welcome to Sick Enough, the podcast about hospital doctors, hospital issues, and the health conditions we commonly encounter.

This episode is about DVTs (deep vein clots), and PEs (pulmonary emboli- clots in the arteries of the lungs). These deadly clots are something that hospitalists encounter on practically a daily basis. In this episode, we why these clots happen; how they're diagnosed; how we treat them; and what you should look look out for if you are diagnosed with one of these. We also talk about things you can do to reduce your risk of catching one. As always, we share a few of our experiences when we've encountered these.

Please email us with questions or comments at SickEnoughPodcast@gmail.com. "Lethal Thrombus" would make for an excellent band name, so email if you're interested in the naming rights!
