[quote name="Fullofkittens"][quote name="Bill Dungsroman"][quote name="Fullofkittens"]P.S. Hey Mr. Medicine: If an "H" on a CBC means "High" and an "L" means "Low"... what does a "Y" stand for? Seriously, this isn't the first half of a joke.[/quote] Dunno. Normal? Serogroup Y of <I>Meningococcus</I> meningitis? The CBCs I've read show a value with an (H) or (L) or nothing if it's normal.[/quote] It brings back a Y next your platelet count, if that platelet count is 1,000.
