platelets
One day at the doctor's office my doctor said to me, "Rick," he said that because that is my name. "Rick," he said, "you have no platelets, if you even get a scratch you will probably bleed out and die. Wait, just a smudge of toner, you are fine, my bad."
TBH I was low enough one that I could not receive chemo, but that time was so long ago, I just don't remember. For months after I recited the number like it was some kind of mantra and checked my blood work each time I received the report, looking for impending doom. Doom never came.0
