Vivaan Saxena, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Vivaan Saxena, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had been experiencing a persistent, dull ache in his right calf for weeks, accompanied by occasional swelling. His father had a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which made Vivaan anxious. His primary care physician, noting the family history and unilateral swelling, was concerned about a possible blood clot and recommended a Color Doppler ultrasound of his lower limbs to visualize blood flow in his leg veins. During the procedure, the radiologist applied cool gel and moved the transducer gently over his calf, explaining each step and the whooshing sounds of his blood flow. The test was quick and painless. The results were a huge relief, they showed no evidence of DVT, only mild venous insufficiency. Vivaan's anxiety, which had been building for days as he imagined worst-case scenarios impacting his family, melted away. He was advised to wear compression stockings and stay active. Emotionally, he moved from a state of fear and dread to one of profound relief and gratitude, feeling empowered to manage his minor condition without the shadow of a major clot.
