<human>: hi my name is tiffany my sister has a pulminary pllo clot and shes been on heprin and coumadin for five days now and nothing has progressed and they moved her from the icu should i get a second opinion? because half of the risks where not explained very well from the doctor they are treating it as if its not non life threatning
<bot>: Hello, Heparin in the first hours and then Coumadin, in association with antibiotics, are the medicine for pulmonary blood clot. This is a very serious disease and especially in the first hours.  Now after 5 days she has passed the major risk and should continue treatment in a normal hospital room, not more in the intensive care unit. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
