O que este vídeo aborda
Bobby, host of Sailing Doodles, describes a month-long medical crisis that began with a strained abdominal muscle during a heavy workout and escalated into a diagnosis of blood clots and thrombosis in three major abdominal veins — the splenic vein, portal vein, and SMV vein.▶ 4:06 A walk-in blood test in Pattaya, Thailand, returned a C-reactive protein level of 112.5 against a normal range of zero to five, prompting an immediate ER visit.▶ 2:04 Doctors at Bangkok Hospital in Pattaya ordered an ultrasound, then a CT scan, and suspected either autoimmune pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer.▶ 4:40 An endoscopy at the main Bangkok Hospital found no masses and no evidence of cancer; physicians concluded the clots and thrombosis were the primary cause of his pain.▶ 8:56 Bobby spent roughly seven of ten days hospitalized and was discharged on a low dose of Eliquis (2.5 mg) while awaiting genetic testing results to determine why the clots formed.▶ 10:25 Unable to sail the Island Spirit to Malaysia himself for a required temporary import permit renewal, he hired a Thai delivery captain and crew for the three-day passage.▶ 13:05 A follow-up appointment with a GI doctor and hematologist is scheduled for July 1st.▶ 16:37 Long-term blood thinner use is expected regardless of the genetic findings, with implications for onboard first aid planning.▶ 11:34
