Interesting treatment for blood clots

This looks promising. If I had any clot like the first one shown, I would certainty consider such a procedure with professional medical approval. I personally favour these kind of physical removals of medical issues/problems, over the use of drugs, when reasonable. My vitrectomy (eye) being a good example, as the floaters were physically removed. Funny how the blood clot looks a bit ground beef like...

A blood clot, or thrombus, is stationary within a vessel or the heart. If it moves from that location through the bloodstream, it is referred to as an embolus.

Involved in brawl???

Returning home


As I noted, previous entry:

Excellent event and long walks for me today after work. BMO Field can be a very cold stadium with the rain and wind. Only Elland Road in Leeds was comparable from what I remember and that stadium in Leeds had metal seats, compared to mostly plastic seats at BMO. After the match, I walked a fair distance in the storm, until I could find a street where a taxicab could pick me up. Once back to the North York hotel, the sports news reported the teams were in a fighting incident after the game with Toronto police involved with Club America.

Further

At the office the next day, the very kind executive receptionists that had called my taxi cab, in order to head downtown for the match; stated (paraphrased) that they had wondered if I had been involved in the brawl?

???

I was far too chilled and simply trying to stay on my feet inside the icy stadium (a man slipped fell down the stairs, that I then helped up off his behind). I would have zero interest in battling with either Club America or especially the Toronto police. Perhaps these kind executive receptionists wondered if someone had assaulted me?

Funny comments, regardless...

See archives re me apparently looking like a Kingpin.

BMO Field is cold like Elland Road

Excellent event and long walks for me today after work. BMO Field can be a very cold stadium with the rain and wind. Only Elland Road in Leeds was comparable from what I remember and that stadium in Leeds had metal seats, compared to mostly plastic seats at BMO.
