I'm really worried about my friend. He's got a really high fever and his blood test results showed his WBC count is high, around 13,100. Plus, his neutrophils are elevated too. On top of all that, he's experiencing back pain. What could be causing all these symptoms?

I'm feeling really tired after work lately, and my memory seems to be getting weaker. I've also noticed some bone pain and I think it might be related to a vitamin deficiency like B12 or D6, which I've seen in earlier reports but didn't pay much attention to. Which type of doctor should I visit to get this checked out?

You should consult a **general physician** or a **nutritionist** to address your vitamin deficiencies. They can help with diagnosis and provide a treatment plan, which may include vitamin supplements or dietary adjustments. If needed, they might refer you to a specialist, such as an **endocrinologist** or **rheumatologist**, depending on your symptoms.
