Patient:Jhulliana Nina D.Escasinas Age: 5yrs Hospital: Cebu Doctors complicated by pneumonia. Note on case histories: Please note that since writing down case histories is very time consuming, sometimes, I will just, initially, post here a snapshot of the case. The snapshot will show the platelet readings and major text testimonies given by the patient's representative when the patient has fully recovered. Once I have more time, I will add more details. Remember, over the last few years there are close to 100 case histories, and I never had the time to write them down. With this blog I hope to upload them. Remember, these cases are linked to one another due to a referral system. It is somebody personally referring to a new patient. Notes on accuracy of readings: Platelet counts, and the times they were taken, are based on the reports or texts from the patient's relatives. The actual time taken and exact figure could be mere approximations. For example, a count taken at 7...
