A2: Varicose Veins

By

The Body Odd column on MSNBC.com features an interview with Walter M. Whitehouse Jr., a vascular surgeon and medical director of Restoration Vein Care in Ann Arbor, who comments on American cyclist George Hincapie’s severe case of varicose veins: “These are the ugliest varicose veins I’ve seen in awhile. They are more severe than the typical patient. I’ve seen bigger, but these are just a huge mass that are clumped together.” Hincapie is currently riding in the Tour de France. [Source]
