Pulmonary Embolism Support Group

By far the most common form of pulmonary embolism is a thromboembolism, which occurs when a blood clot, generally a venous thrombus, becomes dislodged from its site of formation and embolizes to the arterial blood supply of one of the lungs. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, pain during breathing, and more rarely circulatory instability and death.

    Now that I am not talking to my whatever best friend, I realized that her life is full of drama.  I had grown tired of hearing her stories about her boyfriend many months ago.  She basically had been monopolizing conversations for that long too.  She pretty much stopped asking me questions about me.  I passed her in front of her classroom the other day and didn't even look at her.  I am...
