Here’s just a taste of what you had to say last week. Your opinion matters so keep those comments coming. Thank you!
BTW, it will probably come as an enormous surprise but when looking at the issue of post-operative DVTs (non orthopaedic anyway) cigarette smoking actually protects the patient against its development after surgery - it's almost as good as subcutaneous heparin. This has been described numerous times since the mid 1970's. One of the few beneficial side-effects of smoking but not a reason to start.
