What increases my risk for blood clots during surgery?

Factors that increase the chance of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or blood clots forming during surgery are long surgery, inadequate fluids during surgery, trauma to the legs or thighs, and a history of smoking or oral contraceptive use. Birth control pills increase the chance of a clot by six times. Because of this, they should be stopped one month prior to surgery and not restarted until two weeks after surgery.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
