HEY, QUICK QUESTION

Not sure if this is the right spot for this, but here it is:

My uncle (63) used to run his own small business, but things went south a while back. He hasn't been working or paying into Social Security or his health insurance for years. Since he owns a house and an apartment, I'm freaking out—can the government just come after his place? Since he hasn't been paying his dues, could those penalties and interest have piled up enough for them to seize his property? If anyone's wondering the same thing, just ask.

And seriously, if they can take his house, why haven't they done it yet? He hasn't paid anything in at least 10 or 15 years.

Thanks a ton.

Man, the recession just hit them hard in the head. Seriously, just get some online shopping set up and you guys can fix this ☕

RBC - 4.36 (4.34-5.72)
hemoglobin - 138 (138-175)
hematocrit - 0.410 (0.415-0.530)
ESR - 3 (2-13)

everything looks kinda low to me 😁 I mean, except for the hematocrit, everything is technically within the normal range, but it’s all hugging that bottom line, you know?

I'm totally clueless about this stuff, but could this be some early sign of anemia?

So, what do you guys think? Surely there are plenty of experts here way smarter than me! 🙂)

Before I head to my doctor, can you guys tell me if my hemoglobin is actually low? Like, is everything looking okay with my blood work? (I've just been sleeping all day and feeling totally wiped out lately)

Here’s what my labs look like:

RBC 4.36
Hemoglobin 138
Hematocrit 0.410

Trace elements:
Iron 20 (listed as totally fine)

I don't get it though... how can my iron be fine but my hemoglobin is kinda low when it's literally made of iron?
