Hi [patient name]!

As you know blood clots and infections are RARE, but very concerning if they do occur following a surgery. Should you EVER experience unexpected shortness of breath, new onset of calf pain/swelling, or a fever please reach out to your surgical team ASAP. Do you feel comfortable recognizing these signs? Please reply YES or NO
