Episode Synopsis

Send us a textA certain portion of pilots develop low platelet counts, otherwise known as thrombocytopenia.  On this episode, we look at how platelets work in the body, what happens if there are not enough platelets, and why the FAA even cares.  Having a good plan in place with your AME to deal with this condition is important when considering aeromedical certification.
