Aditya Shah, Diya's 70-year-old father, had...
Aditya Shah, Diya's 70-year-old father, had been experiencing increasing shortness of breath and dizziness for weeks. His history of rheumatoid arthritis meant he took immunosuppressants, raising concern for infection or a blood disorder. His rheumatologist ordered a Differential Blood Count. The pathologist found a severely low red blood cell count (anemia) and a specific pattern in the white cells suggesting a possible drug reaction or underlying chronic disease flare. Aditya was weary and frustrated by his declining health. Based on the results, his medication was adjusted. He also received a blood transfusion for immediate relief, after which his breathlessness improved dramatically. Follow-up counts showed steady improvement in his anemia. Emotionally, he transitioned from a place of helplessness and fear about aging to feeling hopeful and more in control, reassured that a simple blood test could so effectively guide his care.
