March is Blood Clot Awareness Month
March is Blood Clot Awareness Month (BCAM), a national observance led by the National Blood Clot Alliance to educate the public about deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), serious but often preventable conditions where clots form in deep veins and can travel to the lungs. The initiative highlights signs, risks, and prevention, as many people don't recognize the symptoms despite blood clots affecting hundreds of thousands yearly. Today we discuss this condition with a pulmonologist with Eisenhower Health - Mehul Patel, MD
