Where did you get your medical training?

Looks like my post was pulled, presumably from no link. Which was my mistake. I can't find it now, but at any rate, look up any article on clotting and dehydration and you will find that dehydration is definitely a contributor, which was my original contention.

If that was incorrect, thanks for the correction.
