101-EN-07, A blood clot can be fatal

We all die at some point
that’s a fact – it’s that simple


Grandma here died at the age of 58
died of a blood clot in her heart
just like tens of thousands of others do every single day

I didn’t know her personally
but I knew/know the family – and therefore attended the funeral
about 100 km north of Manila

She was Salina’s grandmother

A blood clot can be fatal
everyone here on earth knows that

If a piece of the clot breaks away
or breaks loose – from the inside of the blood vessel
it then travels with the bloodstream


*
Heart and brain
the 2 most important organs of any person

That the broken off piece ends up in the heart or brain
is not entirely certain – but almost

Both destinations can mean
you have already eaten your last breakfast
and every single day its victims die
–
and in both cases

However
some do not die immediately
but instead become more or less disabled
often requiring the help of others for the rest of their lives
