Can anyone inform me on what a high white blood cell count can mean. Someone close to me got a blood test done recently and they got a letter in the post saying to contact the sugery ASAP. When he contacted them the doc wouldnt discuss anything over the phone but tell him he needs to collect a letter from him to go to casualty as he had a high white blood cell count. Im trying to find out as much info as possible in order to reassure or at least inform this person as he wont attend the surgery(stupid i know!) after getting this "scare" from the doc. Any info would be great! Thanks.
