William Aird, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“A Normal Result can still be wrong
A ferritin returns within the normal range. The number reassures. The patient does not.
Fatigue.
Hair loss.
Restless legs.
The result is normal. The patient is not. Normal is a comparison to a population.
Not a guarantee of health.”
