    so was in Denver recently, 6 hours after landing had a pulmonary embolism from a clot that formed during the flight. an Ambulance and 4 hours in the ER later, they released me with an aspirin ..
    they said it was good I went in as I could have died..

    moral of the story, compression socks and aspirin for long flights from now on..
