May Athlete of the Month

There is hope during this time.

There are survival stories from this crisis.

This blog has looked after the stories of Blood Clot Survivors but for this edition we are making a bit of an exception.  Sorry this time around we are taking a break from the CLOT BUSTER #StopTheClot polka-dots. Please read on and you will understand.

For this month's edition of this blog post it is very prudent to share the story of Dr. Scott who is a member of the MASAB (Medical & Scientific Advisory Board) for STOPTHECLOT.org 

This is certainly a story of survival but it is not from blood clots.

Although Dr. Scott is involved with the care of patients with blood clots as well as advising STOPTHECLOT.org his recent experience of survival is very much relevant to the current crisis we are all involved with across the globe.  

It is difficult to imagine what Dr. Scott went through and even more difficult to comprehend is the magnitude of people going through and episode like his.  He is definitely one of the lucky ones to be able to come out and tell their story.

This article I am referencing here is from the Detroit Free Press.  

Please take a moment to read it because it is definitely worth it.

There is hope indeed during this time.

Although this has been a long and strange time we will make it through this.  There is no question about that.

One day at the time as everyone is playing a role and your role makes a difference.

Keep hanging in there and NEVER GIVE UP!

Thanks for reading,
