Is It Normal To See Fat In Blood When Blood Is Drawn Out?
My 18 month old daughter had white chunks floating in the tubes that her blood was drawn into. At first we thought it was bubbles, but then it seemed to congealed into white floating chunks. The nurses and doctors all said they didn t know what it was. Please help?
