I think it depends on your age. How old are you? Late 50s is when you see a lot of changes in your body. Look at your lower legs and feet you’ll start seeing kind of big blue veins. Those are varicose veins. If you start seeing blue dots in your legs, those are blood clots. The guy you see in the mirror before you leave your hotel room to make sure there’s no toothpaste on your shirt- chuck Yeager…. Maybe ALPA medical should put a monthly newsletter out in the magazine. The biggest thing affecting pilots are blood clots and kidney stones
