I'm a bit concerned about my platelet count, which is at 120,000. I don't feel weak internally, but I'm curious to know what might be causing it to be on the lower side. Is there any reason for this that I should be aware of?

My PT level is 19.3 and I'm a bit worried is this something serious that needs attention or could it improve as I get older? Also, would it be safe to go through surgery with levels this high?

A PT of 19.3 is high and could delay surgery. It may point to liver issues or vitamin K deficiency. Needs further evaluation and correction before any operation.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's got a really high white blood cell count at 22,000. He's around 80 years old and gets really exhausted even with just a little bit of effort. Any idea what's going on or what we should do next?

A high WBC count can be indicative of various conditions, ranging from infections to more serious diseases like leukemia. The key to managing your father's health right now is thorough medical evaluation, so I strongly recommend discussing these concerns with his primary doctor or specialist to get the right diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
