A member asked:

If a finger stick hemoglobin test comes back normal is it possible the test could be wrong and my child is actually low/anemic?

Possible: Any test has a margin of error, ant the margin of error is a little higher for a finger stick test. If you have reason to doubt the results, ask for a repeat with a blood draw.
