Had a dvt clot in my leg, ultrasound tech could see the blockage below my knee

And didn’t see flow start back up until past my hip. All it would have taken was for the clot to dislodge in a chunk and it would have been lights out in a minute without anything anyone could do. The pulmonary embolism that resulted weren’t too fun either.
