Be more helpful with suggestions please Reading the suggestion of how we ought to know how to do a Google search, I tried to search for โรคไขมันอุดตันในเส้นเลือด and no success either! So after making such an accusation, why not provide a more helpful suggestion for the asker?

Proposed translations

Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)

This question will upset physicians since they want to use the exact term. You should use ภาวะลิ่มเลือดในหลอดเลือดดำ. I met with a serious doctor who lectured me on my question. In fact he understand nothing about translation theories/processes.
You should also know how to do Google search. It is and essential part for Thai translators now.

It is an essential part for Thai translators now. should be "It is and essential part for Thai translators now." Sorry for my typo.

I met with this style of comment from some translators in Thailand. I want them to know technical tools to do search of terms for their professional development. The tools can be learned and mastered widely through Internet.
"โรคไขมันอุดตันในเส้นเลือด" can be searched smartly via Google etc. by splitting this term into 2-3 single words. In fact, it is not "โรค" but "อาการ" or "ภาวะ" and Google search could not hit accurately.
