Gliding through the water with each calculated breath, hitting every fly turn with voracious tenacity. Suddenly everything changes. Something's wrong. A sharp pain rips across your chest. It’s the all-too-common global killer. A blood clot. On this episode of the 12-part series, Taking a Breath: A Stop The Clot podcast, we are joined by 8-time world champion and 2-time Olympic swimmer, author, and speaker Katie Hoff Anderson to discuss her journey as a survivor of a pulmonary embolism. Join our hosts, National Blood Alliance President Leslie Lake, and National Blood Clot Alliance’s Patient Liaison Todd Robertson as they, with the help of trusted medical professionals and listeners like you, work together to Stop the Clot!
