I was admitted to hospital on Monday, released today. I blew my nose on Monday morning and the damn thing just would not stop bleeding, after about a litre of blood I rang for help and they took me in, The same thing happened about two years ago. After many blood tests it was found that platelets in the blood were 50000, they should be a minimum of 150,000. I had two units of plasma on Monday and then two blood transfusions on Tuesday. three hours each one.
Staff were vague about what the cause of the low blood count but then I was in ENT and not haematology, and medicine is so specialised, no wonder many docs now use AI for diagnosis.
Staff were amazing, very kind, helpful and brightened your day
