NASA
Dealing with situations outside the realm of normal human experience is all part of an astronaut’s job description. Still, one can imagine the discomfort felt by the International Space Station (ISS) crew member who received the first diagnosis of venous thrombosis during spaceflight. There is no good time and place to discover a blood clot in your jugular vein, but finding one while you’re more than 200 miles above the Earth is particularly inconvenient.
Helpfully, the ISS was carrying supplies of a blood-thinning medication that could address this potentially life-threatening condition. Still, the astronaut’s dosage had to be cut by a third partway through treatment until more medicine could arrive aboard a supply spacecraft. Several months later, the astronaut – whose identity has not been revealed – returned to Earth and made a full recovery.
