Kelly: WELCOME BACK TO
OZARKS FOX A.M.
KALLIE HAS A MEDICAL STORY THAT
IS OUT OF THIS WORLD.
AND PEOPLE SUFFER BLOOD CLOTS
BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER THE
CONDITION IS TREATED IN OUTER
SPACE.
TAKE A LOOK.
IT'S PRETTY HEAVY STUFF GETTING
A PHONE CALL LIKE THERE.
I PICKED UP THE PHONE AND NASA
WAS ON THE PHONE AND SAID IT WAS
URGENT.
DID YOU CATCH THAT, NASA WAS
ON THE PHONE?
AS I KID STEPHEN MALL WANTED TO
BE AN ASTRONAUT SO HE WAS A
LITTLE STARRY EYED.
.
IT WAS SURPRISING AND AN HONOR.
I WAS CURIOUS TO SEE WHERE THAT
WITH WOULD LEAD.
IT WOULD LEAD TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
WHERE AN ASTRONAUT HAD A BLOOD
CLOT.
HE IS A SPECIAL LIT IN BLOOD
CLOTS.
FOR PRIVACY REASONS THE
ASTRONAUT WAS NOT IDENTIFIED BUT
THE CLOT FOUND IN THE JUG YOU
LAR VAIN.
THIS WAS THE FIRST LOW BLOOD
CLOT CASE IN SPACE AND NASA HAD
NO PROTOCOLS.
ALL DECISIONS HAD TO BE MADE.
THE DOCTOR COULD NOT HELP BUT
ASK.
WOULD NASA SEND HIM TO THE
STATION TO TAKE CARE OF HIM
HIMSELF.
AND I SAID I SHOULD BE TAKEN
UP THERE.
AND THEY SEED WE'LL GET BACK TO
YOU.
IF THE CLOT WEREN'T TREATED IT
COULD SPREAD TO THE LUNGS OR
BRAIN AND BECOME FAR MORE
SERIOUS.
THE TYPICAL TREATMENT ON EARTH
IS BLOOD THINNERS.
BUT HOW WOULD THEY WORK IN ZERO
GRAVITY?
ONE NEEDED TO WEIGH THE RISK
BENEFIT OF START AGE BLOOD
THINNER OR NOT?
HE AND THE TEAM AGREED TO PUT
THE ASTRONAUT ON BLOOD THINNERS.
THE STATION HAD A LIMITED SUPPLY
BUT THE TREATMENT WORKED.
DR. MALL HAD A PHONE CALL FROM
THE PATIENT.
MY WIFE PICKED UP AND IT WAS
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
AND SHE HANDED IT TO ME SAYING
THERE'S SOMEONE FROM OUTER SPACE
THAT WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.
Reporter:
AND AFTER MAKING A WELL
GROUNDED DOCTOR FEEL ON TOP OF
THE WORLD.
I THINK EVERYONE WOULD LOVE TO
PICK UP THAT PHONE GETTING A
CALL FROM OUTER SPACE.
VERY COOL STUFF.
MORE STATISTICS ON DBT.
CLOSE TIE MILLION PEOPLE SUFFER
FROM DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS.
REDNESS IN YOUR SKIN, NUMBNESS,
LOSS OF FEELING AND COOLNESS TO
THE TOUCH.
CLOTS ARE MOST DANGEROUS WHEN
THEY TRAVEL TO THE LUNGS.
A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING
SITUATION OR TO THE BRAIN WHERE
THEY CAN CAUSE A STOKE AND
THOSE, THE LIMB FAT IK OR THE
VAIN THAT HE HAD WAS IN THIS
REGION SO VERY CLOSE TO BOTH THE
BRAIN AND LUNGS.
WOW.
ALWAYS SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP
WHENEVER YOU ASSESS ANY OF THOSE
SYMPTOMS, YOU'RE DOCTOR IS YOUR
BEST BET THERE.
ALSO TO NOTE, ASTRONAUTS UNDERGO
VIGOROUS, VIGOROUS PHYSICAL EXAM
EXAMINATIONS AND WHEN IN SPACE,
THEY WORKOUT FOR TWO HOURS A
DAY.
THEY ARE IN SHAPE.
THIS PROBABLY CAME AS A
SURPRISE.
I NEVER THOUGHT BLOOD CLOTS HAD
ANY SYMPTOMS.
AND I TALKED TO PEOPLE WHO THIS
BLOOD CLOTS AND THEY HAD NO
SYMPTOMS.
IT CAN COME QUICK OR MAYBE THE
SYMPTOMS DIDN'T LAST LONG ENOUGH
TO CATCH.
HO OO I HOW DID THIS
ASTRONAUT KNOW?
AND MAYBE HE OR SHERKS I
CAN'T SAY JUST HE.
MAYBE HE TOOK EXTRA PRECAUTION
ESPECIALLY SINCE YOUR IN SPAIRKS
I MEAN, I WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE
MY LIFE ENDED NOT ON EARTH.
Kelly: NO.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE SCARY.
Jeremy: HOW IN THE WORLD
WOULD THEY KNOW WITH THE LIMITED
SUPPLIES ON THE SPACE STATION.
LET'S PUT BLOOD THINNERS IN THAT
MEDICINE CABINET.
THEY HAD NO PROTOCOL.
Kelly: THANK GOODNESS THEY
THOUGHT OF THAT.
SO IT WAS A MEDICINE.
NOT JUST AN ASPIRIN EYE WOULD
ASSUME SO.
MAYBE THEY RELIED ON ASPIRIN TO
GET HIM OR HER THROUGH HIS OR
HER SPACE FLIGHT.
SOME FLIGHTS ARE LONGER THAN
OTHERS.
SO.
IT COULD OF BEEN ASPIRIN.
IT COULD OF BEEN A HIGHER DOSAGE
OF SOMETHING ELSE.
WELL, IT IS INTERESTING.
I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THE
SYMPTOMS TOO JEREMY.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WERE.
SO HOW DID HE OR SHE KNOW?
Jeremy: BY THE WAY.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
IN THE SPACE STATION.
Kelly: I DON'T.
Jeremy: I DON'T EITHER.
HAVE AH CHANCE OF GUESSING THE
PERSON IS ONE OF FOUR.
DON'T THINK.
BUT I KNOW YOU WANT TO KEEP
THEIR IDENTITY.
THE DOCTORS WANT TO KEEP IT
PRIVATE.
BUT WE COULD JUST PLAY A
GUESSING GAME I GUESS.
BUT WE'RE PRAYING FOR THEIR
RECOVERY AND MAKING IT BACK TO
EARTH VERY SAVORY.
Kelly: THAT WOULD BE A
TERRIFYING SITUATION IN SPACE.
Kelly: EVERYTHING IN SPACE
WOULD BE TERRIFYING.
Jeremy: YOU KNOW, WHAT I
DON'T WANT TO GO TO AFRICA WITH
CAM MY.
Kelly: I MAYBE SPACEY BUT I
DON'T WANT TO GO UP THERE.
Jeremy: DON'T WANT TO GOWP
TO SPACE.
Kelly: I'M THE SAME WAY.
Jeremy: I'M HAPPY HERE IN
MISSOURI.
Kelly: MISERY RIGHT HERE.
Jeremy: ALL RIGHT.
COMING UP IN CELEB TRA TI
BIRTHDAY TIME.
DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
WE'LL BE BACK.
DO YOU WANT YOUR CHER
IMPERSONATION RIGHT NOW.
Kelly: THAT WAS LIKE HER
MOND MUNSTER.
