Late last year, our 13-year-old daughter, Hannah, complained of bruising and bleeding a bit more than usual. Our direct primary care physician drew blood, then called my wife and I and told us to take her to the ER immediately. Turns out, her platelet count was dangerously low: normal levels are 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood; Hannah’s were at 7,000. The urgency was possible internal bleeding or failure of a cut to clot.
All the ER did? Refer us to a hematologist.
