A member asked:
What's the doctor's recommendation to help my friend with an iron deficiency through his final days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Unless he is severely anemic nothing needs to be done. If his hemoglobin is below 8 then a blood transfusion might be of value-but only your physician can tell you that.
