Question 1

what do high protime levels indicate?

Accepted Answer

Clotting factor: Hi
Prothrombin times are a measure of how fast your blood clots. Typically, we don't look directly at the protime but at another value called the INR, which is a standardized version and a much more reliable indicator of how thin your blood is than looking at protime itself. There are many things that can cause a high pro time and high INR. More info here http://mayocl.in/2rfbkPv Hope this helps

Question 5

what does a body temp of 97.3 indicate possibly?

Accepted Answer

Sick or well person?: Everybody has a temperature. The temperature inside the body can be about 97.6 to 99.6 degrees (usually 98.6).  So, a person who is very healthy and measures 97.3 may be normal in temperature and just has a thermometer that gave a slightly lower number. If a person is sickly or has some unusual symptoms, then 97.3 may be a reflection of the illness (hormonal problem, infection, anorexia, etc...).

Question 6

would having a simian line indicate something bad?

Accepted Answer

Palm Reading: I am not a palm reader.  Reportedly a   simian line in the  deep palm connotates poorly controlled emotions  and one  higher in the hand is believed to be consistent with a personality in which intellect dominates. I can not comment on the validity of these beliefs as this is not something that is taught in western medicine.
