David Mutinda, 34, almost died from thrombosis after he was involved in a road accident. Thrombosis is a blood clot in the veins or arteries. The accident broke his femur (thigh bone) and he bled for a long time before rescuers took him to hospital.
Mutinda underwent surgery to fix his limb but later his oxygen saturation dropped so fast that “I couldn’t breathe well, my skin colour was changing and I had to be put on oxygen immediately”. A CT scan revealed he had blood clots in his lungs, which an expert referred to as a pulmonary embolism.
