Storyboard Text
- John is constantly on his phone, playing mobile games, which is why he often forgets to eat and stays up late at night.
- John had chest pain, abnormal heartbeats, and dizziness all at the same time while playing with his phone. He immediately called his mother.
- Mom I'm not feeling well! My heartbeat isn't normal and I'm feeling dizzy!
- Let's go to the hospital!
- At the hospital...
- What is my son's condition, doctor?
- Your son is diagnosed with anemia.
- The doctor explained why John was diagnosed with anemia.
- Anemia can be due to a condition present at birth or to a condition you develop. In John's case he was showing some symptoms that includes irregular heartbeats, shortness of breath, dizziness and chest pain
- The explanation continues...
- How did you find out Doc?
- We used the radioactive isotope 59Fe that is commonly used for anemia diagnosis. It labels the plasma iron pool and allows the measurement of iron clearance and calculation of plasma iron turnover.
- After a few days, John was released from the hospital. He was prescribe an iron supplement to take several times a day and the doctor will do a follow up blood test after he have been taking the supplement for a while.
- John, keep in mind what the doctor said. As your mom, my priority is your health so you also need to change your lifestyle.
- And because he lacks enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to his body tissues, he feels tired and weak which causes anemia.
- Because it is a y-ray emitter, radioactivity can be measured in vivo and the sites of distribution of the administered iron and the probable sites of erythropoiesis can thus be determined.
- I will mom! Don't worry.
