My mom was a nurse. In the lab she did blood counts under a microscope. Near the end of her nursing career she learned to use a new machine that did the blood counts. The simplicity of use of that modern machine reminded me of my mother's work and how much medicine has changed since the early '70's.

That machine was probably called a hemocytometer. I never used one, but did use current machines.

I hope the poor little girl feels better soon. I wish GP surgeries in the U.K. could do blood tests in house with same day results. However, it is probably expensive and financially I am completely reliant on our good old NHS.

@jonelectronics510 Жыл бұрын

This is not entirely true, the NHS can do same day return if specified as urgent by the GP to a local hospital. I was sent to A&E for this exact reason because they could turn around the blood tests within a couple hours. Ultimately, the GP will have to decide whether or not the test is truly urgent in terms of stressing the system versus letting the patient be uncomfortable but safe. The NHS is blamed for a lot of things, but urgent triage is generally one of its good points (if we ignore the always free at point of care treatment).

@minimojo6099 Жыл бұрын

When necessary they will do a same day CBC, it goes by need. Like in this case. If you were to show up at urgent care with these same symptoms, adult version of severity, they would absolutely do a same day CBC.

I then waited 2 more hours of CT and they found a gulfball sized deep abcess 8n my throat. They drained it and it was traumatizing after 21 hours there I finally went home.. The last time was an infection in my Bowel in the large intestine. These things happen so fast. Those are amazing parents.

My if my doctor made me look to my chest the morning I came in very sick, I would have been sent to the hospital. Instead he sent me home on antibiotics for a sinus infection. My mama rushed me to the hospital later that day because I became very delirious and spiked a dangerously high fever. Had she not acted the second she did, I would have been six feet under. I had a very severe case of bacterial meningitis. That’s a week of my life that is totally blank to me. When I came to, I was very confused but I was coherent and made a full recovery. To this day, I still get a panic attack when I have a sinus infection.

When my daughter was 3 years old she had a temperature of 103.9 vomiting and couldn't keep anything down. So, I made a cup I'd green tea and put a little bit of honey in it. Told her to sip it slowly. She was so dehydrated before the tea. And, the tea was the only thing she didn't vomit up. Once she began to tinkle in the potty, I knew she would be okay. Temperature went back to normal and the vomiting stopped.
