Avatar n tn I had a DVT that went through my heart and into my lungs(PE). A valve was damaged, also one chanber of my heart. My problem is that I wasn't diagnosed as a "heart attack", but rather a "pulmonary embolism", and the lawyers representing me in my vioxx lawsuit say it has to be a heart attack, not a PE.

They asked if I wanted something else that night and I declined. Lost my appetite.

The construction of each one means yet another piece of his land has gone over to the enemy and cannot be a part of a Palestinian state.
