I suppose if you were sitting on a plane, then death would likely come to you in one form or another, but that’s not what this is about.
A recent article on the Google blog reports that long flights can lead to blood clots in the legs, which can lead to an embolism, which can lead to death.
One of the article’s hints for travellers: “Avoid surgery 30 days before and after travel.” I just thought it odd the hint wasn’t: “Avoid travel 30 days before and after surgery.”
I have this sneaking suspicion that doctors rarely recommend treatments that conflict with work.
