    Adding paragraphs would have just made the page longer. Sorry for filling the rest of the page and forcing you to be on page 2.

    Not unusual for companies not to talk about dvt. I have been driving fo 16 yrs and none of the companies i worked for ever mentioned it. Most safety directors aren't aware of it. I just recently (last month) underwent treatment to have dvts removed from both legs. I was diagnosed approx 3 yrs ago, and was prescribed a comadin/warfarin regimen. A new ultrsound revealed a clot where there was none previously. There are very few doctors in the u.s.that can treat and remove venous clots. Reccomend you check venous.comfor futrher info on treatment of condition

    Folks, DVT and PE (clots in lungs) are no joke. I'm in hospital because I had two DVTs in my thigh and groin.

    Folks! Please take care with leg pains, shortness of breath and "funny" coughs. My leg pain? Two DVTs, one in the groin and another in the upper thigh. My funny cough and shortness of breath? Small emboli (clots) in lungs.

    I've barely started my career and am now laying in a hospital bed because of it.
