Mvic;

I'm not doc, nor do I play him on TV, but I'll comment anyway. The current research says aspirin is the best (not to mention cheapest!) prophylaxis. There was an article in Lancet, I think, last year, that was excerpted in many more consumer-oriented journals.

Aspirin (the real stuff) and periodic exercise are critical in the prevention of DVT.

So take an aspirin before you take off, and get up out of that seat!

(edited for the usual rash of typos--no pun intended!)
