I’m not a doctor, but that’s no blood clot.
Several months ago I posted that my cousin’s daughter delivered a still-born baby boy. Heartbeat was strong until about an hour before delivery. Then ... no heartbeat.
Just now, the family is telling the rest of the story, i.e., that the baby was “full of blood clots”.
The mother is a nurse, and was forced to get the vac. Has had two short pregnancies since losing the baby, but had miscarriages.
That was my understanding as well. That is why I am having trouble believing embalmers found clots INSIDE veins.
The reason they would be acutely aware of this problem is that they have to pump embalming fluid through the circulatory system, as you said.
These BLOOD CLOTS block the normal flow of blood throughout the system. ERGO, they can’t pump their fluid into the deceased body.
So, they are left no choice but to investigate why, and VOILA !, guess what they find ?
Do you have trouble believing that plumbers find things like hair,grease,food chunks,etc. in clogged pipes ?
When your toilet of sink get clogged, do you just leave it that way and not have someone find out why ?
You are correct. A blood clot is when blood cells jam up in a restricted area of the circulatory system.
I would think that these clots they are discussing would better be termed as CLOGS.
It is not the piping (veins/arteries) that are swollen/damaged/shrunken causing the problem. It is the growth of some cellular structure that clogs the circulatory system.
What would be interesting would be to see the DNA coding for these artificial structures.
Totally irrelevant comparison. Plumbers deal with one pipe clogged versus million arteries and veins in body.
