ER visit: You didn't say what symptoms caused you to seek emergency care in the first place, and that's a very important piece of information. Your white count is slightly elevated, which can come from infection, inflammation, medications, or bone marrow issues. If the er physician wanted you to see a hematologist-oncologist about odd-looking white cells, please do follow up! http://tinyurl.Com/kjexnvy.
