Advertising and claims

This site describes treatments by substance and technology class and does not name a brand product, does not quote prices, and does not quote dosages. It states risks, limits and alternatives, and it names the physician responsible for the medical content.

Honesty requirements for a time-critical complication

Because a clot can be fatal, this site states plainly that it forms away from the operated area, that a clot reaching the lung is an emergency measured in minutes, and that prevention lowers the risk without removing it. It does not present any treatment as a guarantee, and it publishes no emergency telephone number of its own because a printed number can be wrong when it matters.
