#Ultimate Hematologist

[theanonymousclown]

So as you all hopefully know, I… REALLY like randomizing shit. So you can’t imagine my delight when I found a list of over 1000 Danganronpa Ultimates.

I immediately started randomizing, and ended up with a Fanganronpa set in a mansion (because that’s where I thought Danganronpa was set originally).

The backstory I came up with includes the fact that the ending of V3 was a lie and the entire thing was virtual (but no-one knew except Tsumugi) because Tsumugi was an Ultimate Despair who believed the former Ultimate Despair were ruined by being redeemed and wanted to kickstart a new wave of The Tragedy. Luckily, she failed and was stopped by the Future Foundation once all the students were recovered…

But that’s not all. When the V3 students were found, the technology used to keep them in the simulation was missing…

Meanwhile, a group of new students at the New Hopes Peak were invited to a charity gathering at a historical mansion (seemingly by their headmaster, Makoto Naegi) but soon realized that they were trapped by a strange mechanical cat named Mononeko who claimed she was in charge of a new Killing Game.

Names, Ultimates, and Slight Spoilers (who lives and dies) under the cut!

Top Row, Left to Right:

Misumi Daitan, she/her, The protagonist and Ultimate Harajuku Journalist. She survives the Killing Game. She initially tried to stay quiet and out of things, but do to her history in journalism she realized evidence wasn’t adding up and became the forerunner in the Game. As the Game continues, she begins to uncover the secrets of the Mastermind… and unfortunately fall head over heels for both the Ultimate Mailman and Ultimate Extreme Frisbee Player.

Genki Hiroyuki, he/him, the Ultimate Mailman and a Helper Character. He’s the last victim of the Killing Game. He’s constantly on guard and uptight, but he’s still kind. His dog keeps him safe from aggressive/poorly trained dogs he may meet while delivering mail.

Takako Yumeno, she/her, the Ultimate Extreme Frisbee Player and a Helper Character. She survives the Killing Game. She’s a team player and acts upbeat to keep her friends from losing their heads, but secretly she’s terrified that at any time she or one of her friends could be betrayed and killed.

Kohana Kiyosho, she/her, the Ultimate Hematologist. She is, by technicality, the last Blackened of the Killing Game. She’s very timid, but when she starts talking about what she’s interested in she becomes very invested in the conversation. She only became a Blackened through manipulations by the Mastermind, and didn’t even realize until it was discovered in Trial.

Bottom Row, Left to Right:

Osaki Toshiyuki, he/him, the Ultimate Glassblower. He is the third Blackened of the Killing Game. He’s a very gentle person who likes making little things for his friends, like simple swans or glass balls.

Matsushima Michi, she/her, the Ultimate Software Developer. She survives the Killing Game. She doesn’t like talking to people, but finds she often needs to talk out her coding process, so keeps a rubber duck at all times. She has long nails and likes how they sound on her keyboard. You can tell if she likes you because she’ll willingly stay in your prescience for a period of time.

Etsuko Rikona, she/they, the Ultimate Speech Therapist. She’s the fifth overall victim but the second of a triple kill. They were hard of hearing as a child and their hearing has gradually gotten worse, but she can speak if she chooses to. More often than not, though, she chooses to use sign with Fumiko acting as interpreter. She’s very energetic and, even if she’s not speaking, she’s very loud and has a large presence.

Fumiko Rikona, she/her, the Ultimate Mbira Player. She’s the fourth overall victim but the first of a triple kill. She’s sweet and quiet, and fluent in Sign Language- however, she has a mean streak when it comes to people who are rude to her or her twin sister.

[mythgirlimagines]

And finally, Ultimate Hematologist Kazuichi

When he was young, he found a picture book about blood and how blood cells look, which was something he found incredibly interesting and made him want to look into hematology.

Because he works with something like blood, he’s very strict about a lot of safety measures in all areas of his life. Some of his classmates were a bit surprised by that.

What he’s most interested in is diseases related to blood and how they function. Some don’t have cures, only treatments, but he does want to possibly look into finding cures.

He would much rather conduct his own research than review literature or writing papers, but a lot of that is part of the process anyway. He’ll deal with it when he has to.

He spends a lot of time on his work instead of in class, but he knows when to take breaks and has a good relationship with his classmates. It’s fun when they all have free time to spend together.

MURDER AT THE HOSPITAL Prologue

Warnings : swearing ; description of a corpse ; mentions of blood, illnesses, corpses ; medical terminology ; hospital stuff ; I may have not listed it all, viewer discretion is advised

I would rate this chapter and the overall fic 16 +

It was a day like any other for everyone at Vesuvia’s hospital. What days aren’t like the usual ones, anyway? Sure, there were busier days sometimes, but occurrences such as plane crashes and building fires were… Rare. One can’t say there often were such big scales urgencies in the city. It could even be deemed calm by some.

Julian Devorak sat at his desk, as usual, observing the familiar red cells of someone’s bloodstream under his microscope. They looked healthy and so he moved onto the next sample. And the next after that... It had almost become a routine at this point ; it looked like no one’s blood had fallen ill these past months, except for the few cases of AIDS here and there. In the end, it was fairly calm to occupy the position of hematologist – the doctor could sit in the lab for hours undisturbed. He wished more people would come by sometimes though, whether it be Portia or literally anyone else… Unbeknownst to him, his quiet plea would be answered soon. But not in the way he’d expect.

The harsh knock on his lab door made him whip around with a slightly startled gasp. In his doorway stood a literal red-haired police officer, with a file containing a few papers in hand through which they flipped. They had an annoyed frown on their face as they spoke up, almost harshly : “Dr. Devorak?”

Julian blinked, slightly confused. “Uhm- yes, that would be me…”

The officer closed the file with a small ‘slam’ “I’m going to need you to come with me to the station.”

His heart sank to his stomach, a feeling of dread washing over him “what? Why?” he asked, before he could stop himself, earning a slight huff from the officer in front of him “Guess I should probably tell you… Someone called us ; a corpse has been found in the morgue”

The color drained from the doctor’s face, the feeling of dread only intensifying “..wh… what…?”

The officer scoffed “what, you’re our culprit?” they chuckled, their frown turning into a mischievous grin “would make my job a hell of a lot easier.”

They then sighed and signed him to follow them as they turned around and walked down the white corridors “I gotta interrogate you regardless.” Judging by their tone, Julian guessed that this was something they weren’t looking forward to.

He walked right behind the officer in complete silence, too distracted to notice the other officers wandering the hospital’s corridors, or even how the one who was accompanying him was much shorter than him. He fidgeted nervously with his fingers, then put his hands in the pockets of his labcoat, then crossed his arms, then bit his lip… He was a nervous mess ; but there was one question he couldn’t help but ask : “can I see it?”

The officer stopped in their tracks and turned around, frowning still “what?”

“Can I … see it?” Julian repeated, slightly nervous. The red-haired officer sighed heavily and rolled their eyes “Why? It’s just a dead body. I’m not even sure you’re allowed to see it just yet. I’ll show you pictures in the interrogation room anyway.”

Julian hesitated. Should he really insist? The doctor tried his best, but ultimately, his curiosity won over “I just… It’s the hospital I work in, you know? I… I want to see what’s going on.”

The officer mulled over the question, crossing their seemingly chubby arms. In the end they grunted and walked in the opposite direction, expecting Julian to follow “Fine ! But no pictures, and don’t you dare touch anything or talk about it to anyone just yet!”

They were surprisingly quick for their short stature, their steps determined and confident. Despite his long strides, even Julian had a bit of a hard time keeping up with them. The closer they got to the morgue, the more he saw police officers : some talking to staff, others taking notes, and he saw one or two chatting among themselves over a snack. He couldn’t help but notice how much their uniforms stood out compared to the hospital’s white floors and corridors, as if none of them belonged here at all… But then, whatever was happening seemingly didn’t belong in the hospital either anyway. The red-haired officer’s words cut off his train of thoughts : “You ever seen a cadaver before?”

Julian blinked and shook his head “Uhm- yes, if you can call them that. I used to work in the army as a doctor, and well… Some of them didn’t make it” surprisingly enough, the frown on their face softened slightly “Oh? You must’ve seen some dirty shit back there.” Julian nodded “I guess so. But why, what’s waiting for us- I mean… what’s in the morgue exactly?” the officer’s nose scrunched up and they frowned again “Something nasty.” they only said, as both of them walked past the first yellow tape.

The red-haired officer gestured Julian to take a look in the morgue, although instructed him not to trespass the other yellow tape, as the scientific police was working. The doctor agreed and walked up to one of the storing room’s open doors, but without going past the threshold, as he was told. Bile rose to his throat as he saw one of the compartments open, a decayed body laid on the table. Its empty orbits seemed to stare at the scientists working around it, and that sent a shiver down Julian’s spine. Its flesh looked like it’d been burnt, with its dark black-ish, burgundy, brown shades and moldy looking texture. If it weren’t for the smell, he probably would’ve looked for a little longer. He turned around and took a deep breath to calm down, while the red-haired officer raised an eyebrow at him. Not wanting to look like a fool, Julian then focused his attention on the actual live people around the corpse. How did they look so undisturbed...? Was it their gear? Surely not, even the mask couldn’t completely block out the smell of rotten flesh. He looked as they picked at the corpse with tweezers, putting pieces of decayed flesh into test tubes, using q-tips to rub some surfaces and also putting them into test tubes, accompanied by the regular sound of the camera occasionally taking pictures of the gruesome scene.

Eventually however, one of the scientists came close to him and the red-haired officer, leaning against the door frame. His deep dark brown eyes caught Julian’s attention : it’s not often that you can witness irises that are nearly all black… The scientist in question began speaking :

“So ! From the looks of it I’d say the body is at least a year old. It’s been underground for a long time too, considering the copious amount of dirt onto it – I’ll send samples to the lab and then we can go check the site it was probably in. on? whatever – what else… Yeah, there doesn’t seem to be any signs of clothing or personal belongings on it at all, so either it has decomposed already or it was removed before the body was buried. I’d be ready to bet it was in a forest, or near water because the dirt is really humid.”

The red-haired officer nodded along, although still looking annoyed. Julian’s jaw hung slightly slack ; none of this felt real just yet. He felt as if he’d been knocked out and woken up into a TV show and to be frank, he was afraid of the part he’d have to play here. It’s then that the scientist addressed him “and who’s that?” he asked. Julian could guess a smile behind his mask. “Dr. Devorak.” The officer answered “from what the staff said, he’s one of the last few who went into the morgue.” Julian shivered as he remember that yes, he actually had been one of the last few into the morgue. He swallowed the lump in his throat as he tried giving a smile to the other man in front of him – who also happened to be shorter, but still taller than the officer.

“Really ? So just like that, this tall auburn guy is our prime suspect?” the scientist teased, although Julian really felt nervous at that. His mouth opened to respond but the officer spoke before he could “Only our third. The first one is Dr. Valdemar.” Julian’s heart dropped again at that. Things had gotten so much worse so quickly- He could swear he was sweating.

“Who? Where are they?” The scientist asked curiously, trying to look past their shoulders “Couldn’t get my hands on them. They’re in surgery” the red-haired officer replied, rolling their eyes “And either way,, you’re enough trouble on your own ! I’m not introducing you to each other- I don’t need two freaks on my back during the investigation, thank you!” they said, their voice raising slightly, almost scolding the scientist, while the latter raised his hands in surrender with a chuckle. Julian couldn’t help but be curious about that statement, but then if the officer compared that scientist to Valdemar… Maybe he didn’t really want to know more.

He looked back at the other man as he left the room, walking past the yellow tape. He removed his mask and the hood of his white overcoat, and the doctor couldn’t help his heart from doing a little jump in his chest. He was cute. He really was. His short curly black hair kind of reminded him of Asra’s fluffy own, and his black eyes were slightly accentuated by very discreet eyebags, which he hadn’t noticed when the mask was still on. He smiled at him. Oh gods he smiled at him. Julian cleared his throat and re-adjusted his standing position, trying to look nonchalant. That seemed to earn a chuckle out of the scientist. The man approached and removed one of his gloves, reaching out a hand : “Name’s Liam” he said cheerfully. Julian replied in kind shaking his hand. Liam couldn’t help but notice how they were larger than his own as the doctor spoke : “Julian. Julian Devorak.” Liam nodded ; “Nice to meet you. So, one of our suspects, huh?” he teased. Julian shook his head. “I can assure you I am not the reason that corpse is here” Liam chuckled “tsk. Too bad ; I would’ve loved to know what your thought process for this was.” ...what? Julian gave an awkward chuckle. Liam clapped his hands together “well ! We’ll probably cross paths again but I really have to go ; the lab needs the samples” and with that, he waltzed away. Julian was left utterly confused. He’d rarely felt his brain and heart fight so much… On the one hand, Liam was… How to say it… He shouldn’t be so cheerful around a decaying corpse. That aspect reminded Julian too much of Valdemar. On the other hand… With him it was cute. He was cute. He had a little air of mischief about him and, he couldn’t deny it, Julian found it endearing. He was pulled out of his daze by the heavy sigh of the red-haired police officer who was still standing next to him. “Just forget him. He’s always like that. Rambling about dirt and maggots as if it was his favorite little thing” they exaggerated a shudder, before nudging Julian’s shoulder forward “back to what we were doing !” “r-r-right ! Apologies” Julian said, as he and the officer resumed their walk out of the hospital and towards the police station.

[thebibliosphere]

hello! a friend sent me your post about cirs and mcas the other day and it’s got me doing a lot of research, i’ve been sick since 2019 and was diagnosed w cirs in 2020, i’ve since hit a plateau where i’m not really improving tho and my cirs doctor doesn’t really know what to do with me until i build tolerance to a nasal spray or somehow banish more toxins from my already toxin-free room. i wanted to ask what your experience with cirs doctors was and how you figured out you were misdiagnosed? a lot of stuff around cirs is pretty sketchy but i’ve been at a point where i’ve just overlooked that :/ thank u i hope ur having a good day !!!!!

So, unfortunately, my experience sounds a lot like yours. I (skeptically and out of desperation) followed the advice of several alt-medicine doctors who believed I had CIRS and saw some improvement that ultimately hit a plateau and never really moved beyond it.

This was because some of their recommendations removed triggers from my environment that were causing my mast cells to react (scented candles, perfumes, strong chemical cleansers) as well as some high histamine foods. Gluten, for example, is a mast cell destabilizer and iirc “go gluten free!” is common CIRS advice but they never really explain why beyond some pseudo-science.

And while removing some triggers did help, they weren't doing anything else to meaningfully shore up my immune system or address the fact that mast cell dysfunction can fluctuate rapidly due to things like seasonal allergies, stress and also your own monthly hormonal cycle. (This is more common in individuals who menstruate, or those who use estrogen hormonal therapy, as estrogen can cause inflammation and act as a histamine liberator.)

I already suspected that CIRS was not my issue, but I ultimately soured on my doctors, when, like yourself, they continued to insist there was “toxins” in my environment* and I must not be following their advice properly. There was also heavy emphasis on things like essential oils and herbalism, which I knew from being a licensed practitioner of numerous holistic therapies in my 20s that they were promoting inaccurately and sometimes unsafely when they also continued to insist that my reactions to certain things were caused by “toxins” leaving my body and if I just persisted long enough, I’d see the benefit.

(As an aside, what nasal spray are they insisting you take?)

While it is true many of chronically ill people suffer from chemical sensitivities, the insistence on labelling everything a “toxin” and pushing natural alternatives to an extreme, made me nope out and continue my medical research.

A few years later, I started getting worse following a gnarly dental infection, and I began to experience slow-acting anaphylaxis which a Horrendous number of doctors misdiagnosed as panic attacks and even in one spectacular instance of medical incompetence, bipolar disorder.

By then, I had learned about and suspected that I had MCAS but was too ill to keep fighting my doctors. It wasnt until I almost died in 2019, that a new doctor panicked, threw me at seven specialits in a week and I walked away with a diagnosis of perniciois anemia, likely caused by a mast cell disorder and my body’s inability to absorb things properly.

The hematologist who saved my life referred me to an MCAS specialist who took my hand to shake, looked at how the joints moved in her grasp, and said, “this is now an Ehlers Danlos exam.”

I walked out eight hours later with a diagnosis of hEDS and “probable MCAS and undefined dysautonomia.” which is a fancy way of saying I have a genetic disorder and multiple forms of autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

Not everyone with MCAS has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, but a lot of us do. So if you have problems with chronic pain, joint instability, hyper flexibility (muscles), hyper mobility (joints), soft and easily bruised skin, migraines or a lot of unexplained GI symptoms, it might be worth your while to check and see if EDS might be relevant to you.

The Ehlers Danlos Society has a global directory of physicians you can look up.

Its also worth noting there’s a lot of overlap between people with Autism and ADHD with Ehlers Danlos and Joint Hypermobility Disorder.

Like I said, it may or may not be relavent to you. I’m just throwing it out there in case it helps.

So yeah, that’s basically how it went for me. Two years on mast cell stabilizers and a lot of prescription supplements to combat numerous deficiencies, and my health is unrecognizable from what it was. I still have nasty flare-ups (like now), but that's just an unfortunate reality of life with the numerous conditions I have. I’ll take it any day, however, over what I was living before.

I hope this was helpful and that you find real relief soon. Take care.

______

*nb: to any long-term readers, this was before I unknowingly moved into a house with mold, which is a mast cell destabilizer.

This is partly what makes me think that some people diagnosed with CIRS actually have undiagnosed MCAS because so much of CIRS theory hinges on things like mold sensitivity and other environmental factors, though they never explain why beyond a basic “it's a toxin and toxins are inflammatory.”

please do not ask about everything I was supposed to be doing instead of this Baldur’s Gate Muppets fancast, but we’re here now

Companions

Jaheira and Khalid - Miss Piggy and Kermit Jaheira and Khalid just flat-out are Miss Piggy and Kermit - this is the whole reason I sat down and started thinking about this fancast

Imoen - Gonzo He's clever, he’s very playful, he’s loyal - and most of all he has a kind heart.

Minsc - Sweetums Sweetums would have a blast with all the butt-kicking. And Robin would be a delight as Boo. Alternatively, I’d get a lot out of having Rizzo play Boo while all the other actors pretend they can’t understand him.

Dynaheir - Custom Muppet My friend who helped me with the fancast was really clear that every Muppets Movie has some new Muppets created just for the story - whether it’s Walter showing up in the 2011 movie and sticking around from then on, or the truly horrifying little baby Ghost of Christmas Past in The Muppet Christmas Carol, you can always expect new puppets in a new Muppet production, Baldur’s Gate would be no different! it keeps going for a while, i’m sorry

Keldorn - Sam the Eagle

i can’t

Jan Jansen - Rowlf the Dog Rowlf already tells silly jokes in long stories, I can practically hear Jan’s stories in his voice. Edwin Odessieren - Pepe the King Prawn Pepe would do Edwin’s parenthetical grumblings perfectly. Ajantis Ilvastarr - Link Hogthrob Link has plenty of experience playing a cop with a lot of bravado. It’s a shame that no one’s there to save his bacon in Windspear. rip, bud Nalia - Drew Barrymore This one’s a given lmao Aerie - I’d say Camilla the Chicken but Camilla has wings Viconia -  N’Bushe Wright For Viconia you need an actress who can do both intense competence and a little bit of fragility. It doesn’t hurt that she was great in Blade as the hematologist who cured vampirism in a week, and by casting her and Kate Beckinsale as Bodhi, the imaginary producers of this imaginary movie can milk the intrigue between the Shadow Thieves and Vampires to hop on into the dark fantasy genre taking Hollywood by storm in 2004 (the year I seem to have decided this movie was filmed. Haer’dalis - Sgt. Floyd Pepper Floyd is nothing if not a bard. He thinks a little too highly of himself, talks a hell of a lot, and is a flirt.

Antagonists

Sarevok - Uncle Deadly He's the big bad in the first arc, but ultimately, when his quest for power fails, and he spends a little vacation in Hell, he can come back to life and if he is shown kindness, he sees the error of his ways, and can be redeemed. He's still a muppet - he doesn't have to be pure evil. Jon Irenicus - David Warner Gotta be. Bodhi - Kate Beckinsale I think this is hilarious.

Charname

charname is played by a human! I think the casting is determined a lot by what kind of playthrough it’s based on! because I’m in the middle of a chaotic neutral playthrough, and given the era I’ve decided this is being filmed, I’m really feeling eliza dushku for this lol

This progress did lead to an effective medicine he created, but it will still take a while for a cure all to be made. Given his family history of blood diseases, as well as the patches of bruises on his skin that he hides under his clothes, it makes sense why Akira would be dedicated to help others with the same issues.

I apologize for the lack of updates here!

Comic Update: The entirety of chapter 3 has been thumbnailed, Episode 1 is complete, Episode 2 is currently in the lining process, and Episodes 3 and 4 are sketched :) I wish I was further along, but life keeps getting in the way. Hoping to have a return date soon!

Work Life: It's a struggled. Last update stated we were a fully staffed post, but one of the new workers isn't quite the team player and has caused me to work overtime a lot since last update. Things are starting to level out though, so I am hoping it improves soon.

Health Update: Since last update, lots have happened. I was actually allowed to drive shortly after my last post. We calculated the 6 month ban wrong. However, that was short lived. Not long after my last post, I visited my Neurologist and they believed my brain injury had healed enough to take me off my anticonvulsants. It was going to be a long 5 week process of weaning me off to prevent triggering seizures, but ultimately, it failed. Not even a full two days into my weaning, I had a series of seizures that sent me to hospital again December 28th. I had been told to return to my normal dosage and stay there. It looks like even though the CT showed healing, I might permanently have to be on seizure meds. I have a follow-up in July with them to see what needs to be done. As for my hematologist, I was cleared by her last week. They highly recommend me to see a rheumatologist to confirm if I might have Lupus due to a preliminary blood test suggesting I do and with multiple tests over these several months showing I have chronic inflammation that is not improving (but not getting worse either?), it's a concern to her.

Hope everyone is well! Sorry for the silence here! I tend to forget to update here a lot. Managing multiple social media sites is not my forte ^-^'

One last req (sorry for overworking I’ve just got so many ideas aaaaaaa) ultimate musher Mukuro, ultimate geneticist Rantaro, ultimate parasitologist Chihiro, and ultimate Hematologist Kazuichi

Like I said before, I only do one per post, so the others will be separate!

She learned about dogsled racing from a movie she and Junko watched when they were little and became entranced with it. From that point, she did whatever she could to become a musher.

It was helpful if she lived somewhere with an appropriate climate, so when she “disappeared” on her family vacation, she found a way to get there, all to develop her talent.

A lot of the time, she uses mushing as a form of transport rather than sport, but her team is well-equipped for both. She takes very good care of her dogs to make sure they’re happy and in good health.

Her dogs are very sweet, but some of her classmates find them intimidating. That’s fine with her, since it’s kind of funny when her dogs want attention from those people specifically.

School was kind of a drag, since she wanted to be in the colder temperatures more and do what she did and her team did best. Hopefully she could at least wait it out until winter.

Thrombocytopenia: A Comprehensive Examination of Platelet-related Disorders.

Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by a reduction in platelet count in the bloodstream to levels below 150,000 platelets per microliter. Platelets play a crucial role in blood clotting and preventing excessive bleeding. They adhere to damaged blood vessel walls and aggregate, forming an initial, loose white blood clot. Subsequently, with the involvement of platelet and plasma substances, fibrin protein filaments develop, allowing red blood cells to adhere, ultimately leading to the formation of a dense red thrombus upon the foundation of the initial white thrombus.

When the platelet count is low, blood clotting becomes sluggish, heightening the risk of bleeding in various parts of the body. Therefore, it is vital to have a grasp of potential causes and symptoms associated with low platelet levels to promptly identify this potentially perilous situation.

Thrombocytopenia Symptoms:

1. Grade 1: Often asymptomatic in both children and adults but potentially dangerous as it can progress.

2. Grade 2: Reduced blood clotting, leading to hemorrhagic symptoms, including small skin and mucous membrane hemorrhages (purpura), easy bruising, bleeding gums, nosebleeds, heavy periods, and prolonged bleeding from minor cuts.

3. Grade 3: Severe symptoms, including internal organ hemorrhages, potentially life-threatening conditions like hemorrhagic stroke, and the presence of blood in urine and stool.

Important Considerations:

1. Thrombocytopenia, marked by a deficiency in platelet numbers, introduces a significant risk of bleeding and potential organ damage.

2. The potential seriousness of thrombocytopenia underscores the importance of ongoing medical oversight and timely intervention, both of which can substantially enhance the prognosis.

3. Achieving an accurate diagnosis and receiving individualized care are paramount in managing thrombocytopenia effectively. Specialized medical expertise is essential in this regard.

4. To ensure a comprehensive assessment and personalized treatment plan, it is strongly recommended to seek consultation with a hematologist, a specialist in blood disorders. Their expertise can provide valuable insights and guidance in managing thrombocytopenia and its associated challenges…….
