A member asked:
Are they going to inspect my legs when i go to the hospital for pulmonary embolism? below or above the knees or both? i don't shave so i'm embarrassed

No need to be : embarrased. Your doctor has seen all types of legs and is not concerned if you shave or not. Your health is more important than your perceived concern about you doctor's reaction to your lack of shaving. Wish you good health!
