My mom's hemoglobin is at 5.9. Is that critical? Should we think about admitting her to the hospital today, or is it safe to wait until Monday? I'm really worried and unsure what to do.
A hemoglobin level of 5.9 is quite low and could be critical, especially if your mother is showing symptoms like weakness, dizziness, or shortness of breath. It's important to seek immediate medical attention, ideally today, to avoid complications, as this may require urgent intervention.

Can I get a tattoo on my arm if I have G6PD deficiency? I'm worried because tattoo ink has isopropyl in it. Does that affect people with my condition? I'm hoping to get some guidance on whether it's safe or not.
Having G6PD deficiency means you have a genetic condition that affects the red blood cells. Isopropyl alcohol is commonly found in tattoo ink and products. While there is limited information on the direct effects of isopropyl alcohol on individuals with G6PD deficiency, it is generally recommended to avoid substances that may trigger a hemolytic crisis. To be safe, it is best to choose tattoo ink that does not contain isopropyl alcohol. You can consult with your healthcare provider for further guidance on safe tattooing options.
