I'm just a little worried because my WBC count came back at 15,400. Is this within a normal range, or should I be concerned? What kind of effects could this have on my health, and is there a specific name for this condition?

I've got my blood test results back from January 6th, 22, and it shows my total protein is 8.9, and my globulin is 4.10, both higher than the normal range. I've attached the test report for your review. Can you help me understand what this means and suggest what I should do next?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been eating a lot of ice from the fridge and even the frost inside the freezer, probably around 2025 times a day. It's like I have a real craving for it. I'm starting to wonder if this could be bad for me. If it is, what should I do to stop wanting freezer frost so much?

Its completely a behavioural issue. You shouldn't be having it so much. So just try to control somehow. Do not keep the ice tray in the freezer. There is no medicine for such things.
