It’s A MYSTERY! (The H3ll It Is)

Oh, where’s my sign again?
During the summer there was a 25 per cent rise in the number of people rushed to the Golden Jubilee National Hospital in Clydebank with partially blocked arteries cutting blood supply to the heart.
C’mon jacka$$e$ — a 25% increase in one year?
You know good and damn well that’s not environmental nor is it due to people’s lifestyles. Yes, lifestyle causes this in many cases but it takes decades to get you due to your lifestyle, not months or a year.
What did we change in the subject population less than a year ago, and since this is now happening what leads you to believe it is a one-off?
Oh, this is largely in older people too. Which is exactly who the US Government, anyway, would like to see take the dirt nap since that cuts down Medicare expenses and, to the extent they wind up in nursing homes later, Medicaid expenses too if they have no money.
Congratulations on increasing your odds of pulling the short straw — by a lot.
Oh, and how many people have an occlusive heart attack at 42? Not many. This guy did — here in the US. DVT, heart attack and a PE at 42? Uh huh. He’s very lucky he’s not dead and you and I (along with the physicians involved) both know damn well the likely cause of it too. If you know anything about the circulation you know that while DVT can cause a PE it cannot cause a heart attack or stroke because the lungs are in the way and an extremely effective filter that prevent that from happening. Occlusive strokes and heart attacks are caused by clots in the arterial side of the circulation.
Clotshot indeed.

He blamed it on his recent Achilles heel surgery. Plausible deniability?

@Ceiii2000 - If his doctor told him that he should immediately take a baseball bat to his face. He’s LYING and he knows it. No physician say much less a surgeon gets out of med school without understanding the basics of the circulatory system.
It is impossible for DVT to cause a heart attack. It’s actually an ingenious part of the human circulatory design. Oxygenated blood flows out of the lungs, into the heart and is pumped out into the aorta and then to everywhere else (including the coronary arteries.)
Returning blood goes through the other side of the heart and then through the lungs, in which the blood must flow at single-cell clearances to the capillary bed to exchange oxygen and CO2. A clot large enough to occlude a blood vessel thus cannot pass the lungs.
A clot in the venous circulation that breaks off can cause a PE by occluding the blood flow IN THE LUNGS and by doing so lead to necrosis, severe chest pain and coughing. It can kill you very dead too, but they are treatable and, in many cases, with only mild permanent damage.
Occlusive heart attacks and strokes are caused by clotting that ORIGINATES no further in the circulation than the EXIT from the lungs back to the heart for this reason.
*****If you get BOTH a PE and occlusive heart attack at the same time the clotting that caused it was undifferentiated and that is NOT a function of surgery on your leg!*****
