Thank you @RepLBR for raising awareness of pulmonary embolism and blood clots. Many medications, such as those taken to treat #Myeloma increase the risk #KNOwMyeloma#BloodCancerAwarenessMonth
This week marks 9 years since losing the love of my life, Charles, to blood clots.
Today, I introduced the bipartisan Charles Rochester Blood Clot Prevention and Treatment Act to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of blood clots and pulmonary embolisms. (1/2)

Today begins the trial RaDonda Vaught, a Tennessee nurse facing years in prison for accidentally giving a patient a lethal dose of the wrong drug. I’ve followed Vaught's case for years, and it’s the focus of my first story for @KHN, published with @NPR. https://t.co/smwqmtUIwz
