Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, typically in the legs. Treating a DVT is crucial, as the clot can break loose from the affected vein, move through the bloodstream to the heart, and lodge itself within the lung's main artery. This complication—what's known as pulmonary embolism—can be fatal.

What is a pulmonary embolism? A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in your lungs. This blockage is usually caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs or other parts of the body, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Symptoms of PE can include shortness of breath, chest pain, and coughing up blood. Risk factors include prolonged immobility, surgery, cancer, and certain genetic conditions. Diagnosis often involves imaging tests like CT scans or ultrasounds. Treatment typically includes blood thinners, clot dissolvers, and sometimes surgery. Prevention strategies focus on reducing risk factors, such as staying active and using compression stockings. Understanding PE is crucial for early detection and effective management.

Lucy Woodhouse, 43, says she experienced severe headaches which felt like hangovers and struggled to read aloud.

But then in a meeting with colleagues she found herself unable to understand what they were saying, and tests revealed she had a golf ball-sized tumor.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
