We make sure patients are on Clexane,
We make sure patients have their TED stokings on,
We make sure they have enough painkillers so they can mobilise,
We monitor them by monitoring the bloods and obs,
"obs stable, afebrile"
"good"

We just never listen to the lungs during wardrounds.
Just don't have the time? Or not necessary unless they are symptomatic?
Hmmm...

We had a very sick colon cancer patient died from PE.
Well, we have tried "our best" to prevent it.
