In my country trying to get the Dr's to order a D - Dimer for micro clotting is near on impossible! This young man went for an ECG and blood screen the other day, I tried to advise his parents he needed a D - dimer and a scan of his heart, but as usual our healthcare system here wouldn't have any of it.
As expected the ECG came back ok (it would tho wouldn't it as he is not putting his heart under any strain during it) and waiting on bloods. I've tried to advise them to go private for it but they are trusting the Dr's.
My own cousin (fully jabbed) on Christmas eve was rushed to the ER with big chest pains, breathless. Her CRP (infection marker came back extremely high) and they told her she had a chest infection despite the x-ray being clear.
Then 2 nights ago it started all over again, but again the Dr's will not do a simple D - dimer or scan of her heart. It's sickening.
