My Dr Is Uncertain About This And Recommended A Second
My Dr is uncertain about this and recommended a second reading. She said that my white blood cells are a bit lower than normal. This is what is confusing me. I am 52 years old of Caribbean origin. I lift weights and am a non smoker. My family is vegetarian but I consume some meat for protein sake. I look like 35 years old eben though 52, 8 pack abs and well defined. We have no existing medical conditions and just do a physical once a year and we pass with flying colors. As of my last visit to my regular Doctor, there were no issues. Now that I had to change insurance and get a new Doctor, she is now recommending a second test since she is not sure if the lab is at fault. This is an unnecessary issue and it is worrying me a bit, albeit that she said that it may be a false reading.
