Yeah he has ITP. It only flairs up this bad every few years and usually when he’s super depressed. Part of why he never applied for residency. He got very sick during med school and had no family support, so he missed a lot of school and was being treated at the hospital he was learning at. That’s why it took him so long to graduate and then he was too embarrassed to get letters of recommendation.
His draw Sunday before last was 5. By the time he went in on Monday morning, it was 3. Before the end o the day it was “less than 2”. He had IVIG on Monday last week, then rituxin on Tuesday. His platelets were up to 30 on Wednesday so they let him sign to be discharged. But yeah his draw yesterday was back down to 5. My mom and I told him he wasn’t ok. We had dinner Sunday and he was in a lot of pain.
