The MA needs a doctor to investigate and pronounce on WHY this person's system has low iron - the underlying cause - and state what treatment is recommended, and the likely outcome.
Thanks JandM, Can a GP or Family doctor provide this report or it has to be a specialist? If a specialist then what kind of specialist we are supposed to go to? Hematologist ?Quote:

(You say the cause is low iron, but beyond that there will be the further question of WHY the system is low in iron.)
