My doctor has referred me to a blood specialist for low platelets the apt is not until 12 days from now if it is serious shouldn't the apt be sooner?
Usually a low platelet count is not caused by an emergency (or you'd already be in the hospital). In other words, if he thinks you can wait 12 days, it probably can wait 12 days. So although I did not answer your question, I want to tell you (and everyone else), if you are worried about a test, ask your caregiver for more information! These folks usually have a lot of patient education materials. Call your caregiver...ask why and what it could mean. mbm

Don't get too upset, many times symptoms of a serious condition are the same as for a not so serious one, doctors like to play it safe. Go to the appointment and listen to what the doctor has to say, vision is important and you want to protect it for as long as you live.
