A member asked:

Blood drawn tuesday morning. doc ordered several tests for fatigue and abd pain, all came back except for the cbc w/diff & platelet. why delay??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Manual diff: Diff may be done by the machine and those results are available along with other results. If your doctor ordered a manual diff, that requires additional time and may be the reason for the delay.
