Authors:
- Challenges the current consensus in the field, which accounts for in vitro clotting and bleeding diatheses but fails to explain the aetiology of DVT
- Proposes an aetiological hypothesis to unify perspectives and stimulate new approaches to productive research
- Revives consideration of old (and new) approaches to the prophylaxis of venous thrombosis and thromboembolism
- The argument ranges over the origins of the central schism in biomedical research, and the need to repair it; using DVT as an example, it debates how that objective might be approached
