time

doctor: ok i see we are going to run some blood tests according to your symptoms it’s most
likely to be mild anaemia and maybe we are going to run a head exam to be sure is not
something else

Patient: anaemia ? it sounds serious, is it serious?

Doctor: Well, if the diagnosis is correct, as I tell you, it is most likely that your case doesn't
seem to be serious, we will confirm it with the results of the analyzes, but we have to start
treating now so that it doesn't get worse, the key is eating, eating habits and another type of
habits I will have to prescribe a diet, iron supplements and vitamins and make several
important recommendations

Doctor: Of course that's what I was about to say to you we need to understand the condition
and find out what has been causing it, what failures are there in your diet, in your daily
routine and other factors
Anemia is a disease that appears due to a decrease in hemoglobin in red blood cells. This
condition, which can be caused by a loss of blood, by the lack of production of red blood
cells due to their destruction

Patient: which means?

to have enough red blood cells, the most common are iron or vitamin deficiency due to a
poor diet or due to some condition in your body
