A 20-year-old patient was seen for tiredness that they had experienced for 2 weeks. The patient was healthy and had been active in the sports. Dr. Usha Jain, director of Emergi-Care Medical Center, examined her and ordered blood tests. The mother of the patient was worried about her daughter’s tiredness and wanted all the tests done to find the cause of her tiredness. The patient had all the tests to find out the cause of tiredness such as:
- Anemia
- Mononucleosis: Heterophil antibody titer
- Lyme disease
- E-B virus: Epstein Barr Virus Antibody Panel
- Adrenal dysfunction (stress): Cortisol
- Thyroid disease: T4, T3 and TSH

Dr. Usha Jain truly bellieves in Non-Violence and Karma. Having good faith will take you far in life...
