A member asked:
My nan is in hospital after a fall what does it mean if her temp spikes and hemoglobin falls she broke shoulder and pelvis with a clot in the lung?

Sounds serious: With the history of broken bones, being in the hospital with fever and blood clot makes for several serious issues. Her doctors can be the best source for your to know what is going on. But fever equals infection, unless proven otherwise. Hemoglobin fall could be due to a number of reasons such as: blood loss, infection, and being in the hospital where blood is taken out for many tests every day.
