Excellent, drugs, cars and cheeseburgers advertise on the evening news, guns do not. don't get me going on varicose veins and DVT

Estimates suggest that 60,000-100,000 Americans die of DVT/PE (also called venous thromboembolism).
10 to 30% of people will die within one month of diagnosis.
Sudden death is the first symptom in about one-quarter (25%) of people who have a PE.
