Similar to a stroke, if deep vein thrombosis is caught early enough, it can be easily resolved without any long symptoms. However, when there is a failure to diagnose DVT, it can spread to the lungs and become fatal.

The symptoms of a pulmonary embolism can be very subtle and hard to diagnose correctly. Tiredness and weakness after a sprain or other leg injury may lead to deep vein thrombosis and an eventual blood clot in the leg. Whether you sought help from your primary care physician or you made an emergency room visit, it is the responsibility of medical professionals to recognize these symptoms and take proper preventative action.

Deep Vein Thrombosis Emergency Care

Did you go to the emergency room for treatment after experiencing pain in your leg? If you failed to get a proper diagnosis from the emergency room physician, you may never have gotten the chance to see the specialist who could admit you to the hospital and get you the proper care you needed for deep vein thrombosis.
