This removing the blood clots thing really gets me. It's a huge stand out. In most cases of clots they absolutely do not remove them. It's very dangerous and can cause little particles to break off and go to lungs or brain and can cause stroke or kill you with a pulmonary embolism. Usually they just put you on thinners and wait for the body to break down the clot - in certain circumstances they may give "clot busting" drugs to help break it up but are hesitant to use those bc they are dangerous for the same reasons. Obviously that wouldn't work with these fibrin "clots". So this is something totally different than the usual protocol for clots, you'd think 🤔 people in the medical profession would have noticed the discrepancy. It's kind of a big deal. Wonder if there has been some advisement from FDA or pharma to docs on how to treat clots nowadays. 🤔
Interesting & scary point about the clot removal. Her entire arm was swollen so they removed the clot THEN gave the fabricated cause as a rib! Which she then had removed. I also thought how could the doctor say this and do the surgery??? He had to know it was bs. We’re talking a big deal hospital in Philly. It’s so upsetting because I thought for sure she’s going to get another clot and then what? Your information supports that. She’s bounced back and is happily unaware of the right rope she’s walking.
Yep it's very unusual. I have a genetic clotting defect that wasn't discovered until I was in my late 20's after 2 hospitalizations for dvts (clots ) in my legs way up high in my thigh and behind my knee. 1st left then right leg. They did not consider removing them. I have had one removed but that was because as I was in surgery to have a stent put in to open my veins up (I had to still be on blood thinners bc I clot so much And that's really dangerous.) During the surgery I developed a bleed that no one noticed into my spinal column and when I woke up I couldn't move my legs. They rushed me to ct scan saw it was a clot from the surgery from an hour earlier then sent me to emergency surgery where they opened up my spine and took the clot out. I still sustained a spinal cord injury, I use a wheelchair. They were able to mitigate some of the damage. The only reason they went in and removed it was because it was fresh and the risk of leaving it there and the permanent damage it would cause me was much greater than the risk of removing it. It was a huge deal.
Thank you. It's been an amazing journey to say the least. I was a former nurse at the time which was a blessing and a curse. I really lost a lot of faith in medicine at that time and I've certainly lost what little I had left during Covid. Through it all God has shown his love to me with many blessings and through the prayers of so many of His people. God is good - all the time!

Oh you’ve really been through a tough time. I’m so sorry!
