Gretchen Simmons: Anyone Can Have a Blood Clot – No One Knows This Better Than Carol West
Gretchen Simmons, Associate Director for Communications at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reposted from Thomas Reiser on LinkedIn:
”Anyone can have a blood clot.
No one knows this better than Carol West who fell on a rainy day and shattered her kneecap.
Listen to this episode of the Pulse Podcast to hear how her accident led to her developing blood clots in both legs which broke apart and moved to her lungs.
Then check out the resources here to learn the signs and symptoms of a blood clot and to learn more about the factors that put you at risk for dangerous blood clots including the ones Carol describes such as injury to a vein, surgery/hospitalization, and immobility.”
Thomas Reiser, Executive Director of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH), shared on LinkedIn:
”Listen to the new episode of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Pulse Podcast feat.
World Thrombosis Day Patient Ambassador Carol West who highlights the vital role patients play in raising awareness, driving research and inspiring change.
In her interview with host Geoffrey Barnes.”
