strombolise or something?????

[ethandron]

just had an aunt of mine on the phone to tell me her sister is in hospital having had two clots near/on her lung removed/dispersed by a procedure called 'strombolising' or something like that.
i have no idea what she was talking about, anyone able to enlighten me please?

Think this may help

thanks mamy, should have realised it was 'thrombo' and not 'strombo'. my aunt was a bit confused about what had happened and what they're doing to treat her sister, poor old duck.

Well I know no more than what is in the link I sent, but do hope all goes well.

Eth...google..."Clot Busters"

[ethandron]

is that what they send in to deal with prats, a bit like ghost busters?

[Sqad]

[Sqad]

certainly not matron, we're here to do a job, and a damn fine one at that ;o)

[ethandron]

doctor dear, it's the chase which is the exciting bit...

Eth......the matron of the hospital in which I qualified had a flat at the top of the hospital and the Chairman of the Board of Governors was "knocking her off"

This was a hospital series on TV some months ago !!!
