The Doc Is In – "Pulmonary Embolism"

In this week's "The Doc Is In" segment, Emergency Physciain, Dr. Ryan Stanton discusses what causes a pulmonary embolism. A pulmonary embolism is when a clot breaks free from the vein and travels through the right side of the heart and into the lungs where it gets wedged in the vessels. This can block lung function, kill lung tissue, and cause strain of the heart. To find out more about this medical issue, watch this segment.
