Blood clots

For once I'm not being mock-serious, having lost a friend, killed, it was reported, by a "long-flight blood-clot" a few days after he arrived home.

I'm proposing therefore the availability of a "pre-flight pressure-bandaging service", possibly provided by a contractor to an insurance group, or by an international franchise as a lucrative earner for locals.

The service would be available in airport waiting-lounges where in privacy, skilled workers would quickly apply bandages to the lower legs, or to whole legs on request. There could be an in-flight availability too.

{I won't go into the many advantages of properly applied, wide elastic bandages compared with elastic stockings. Take it from me. As a late-onset diabetic, I wear bandaging all the time].

Right now the idea is as half-baked as they come, [like would the bandages be recycled on deposit?], but if I were 50 years younger I'd be out there marketing this one.
