Sorry your clot was so unbelievably big that you had to google but glad you found me. Hi, geeky twin! I can relate to what you're saying. Can't comment about your specific circumstance but I will say that it's never to late to use what you know in some way. Perhaps just not in the way you originally envisioned. I am the poster child for this. By now, I was supposed to have a PhD, my own lab, and grad students. Let's just say, I ain't got none of that. Won't go on and on about it here. I have another blog for that. ;-) I live in Virginia but I will pass along two sites. Hope this helps. <a href="http://www.ask4ufe.com/" title="treating uterine fibroid tumors - fibroid embolization" rel="nofollow">Treating Uterine Fibroid Tumors: Fibroid Embolization</a> I got this site off of a brochure provided by my Interventional Radiologist. When you go there, look at the top for the "Find Specialist" link. I put in New York and did get hits for NYC. <a href="http://www.sirweb.org/" title="Society of Interventional Radiology" rel="nofollow">Society of Interventional Radiology</a> Look down the right side for the "Find a Doctor Near You" link. There's a check box for the UFE specialty. I put in New York here and got more hits. I saw "the dashing young fibroid doctor" today! Had a post-op appointment. He's really good and definitely has a brain. You do realize that now when I see him, "Doogie" will pop in my mind, and I'll start giggling. :-) Your dizzy episode sounds familiar.

Treating Uterine Fibroid Tumors: Fibroid Embolization
I got this site off of a brochure provided by my Interventional Radiologist. When you go there, look at the top for the “Find Specialist” link. I put in New York and did get hits for NYC.

After a half hour of peaked excruciating pain and self lower abdominal palpitation I passed a clot that was...just...too...big. I googled, I found you. Of course my first google pass included the term "etiology" and menstrual clots, I came up with like 4 hits. After removing "etiology" I got like a gajillion hits. I think we may have been separated at birth, I too am quite geeky and early on had a promising career in molecular immunology, which I dumped out of a looming sense of failure and incompetence (not to say that I identify you w/ these latter experriences). ANyway, I have had a myomectomy, two VERY complicated pregnancies, and now I think I am going to need to be embolized. May I ask what city you live in? If it is NYC, do you have a referral? Very much enjoyed your comment regarding the OBGyn who seemed too young to have a brain. The guy who did my myomectomy though considered the best in the city was megolomaniacal, hobbit like, and seemed to have more than a clinical interest in women's sexual apparatus. So I guess I would be more than happy w/ Doogie Hauser...providing he had a brain. I sit here dizzy.
