A member asked:

What can i do if my friends mom had to go into emergency surgery because of low hemoglobin. will she be okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I hope so: Would need much more detailed clinical information as to what are the underlying medical issues, what caused the anemia & what surgery is needed to be performed. Very best wishes.
