A member asked:
Is it possible to get a blood clot in the palm of your hand by briefly pressing the center of your palm a few times?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not very likely: There is good collateral (extra) circulation both arterial and venous in your hand. It is unlikely to get a clot in the palm from "brief" pressure there.
