"blood clot" is so general...it's like "cut". Most heart attacks and strokes are "blood clots". DVTs and PEs are "blood clots". ALI is normally a "blood clot".
A few of those are obviously not the case, but the time off really just represents the time on blood thinners. It's one of those things that is most dangerous to those who don't realize they have it, but pretty safe if it's identified and the person is still ok.
