    Several things are not mentioned in the article.
    1. Do you have a family history of blood clots?
    2. Overweight? Smoke? Never exercise?
    3. Poor eating habits? High cholesterol?

    If you are generally a healthy human being, it is not a big risk IMHO.......

    yeah it's worth keeping tabs on, pulmonary embolism, lookup in google, read the stuff at http://www.emedicine.com

    http://www.emedicine.com/aaem/topic371.htm

    apparently it's a big killer and nobody talks about it much..

    there's some kind of test, V/Q scan, which helps tests for it, at least in lungs -- anyone had that done? helpful?

    one thing I had done last year, which is great, is going to one of those commercial MRI type scanning places, had a virtual colonography and a complete heart checkup, to check for calcium score and for a echocardiogram.. it was very helpful .. so far so good... at 39, I want to start keeping tabs on the body, make sure all's well, check it every couple three years...




    (now I've gotta get back on that treadmill) ..
