Does Bone Marrow Test Require Haematology Consultation?

My mother in law is a 62 year old who has been having a dizziness since Sept 2011. She has had similar episodes

in 2009 and 2010. She had a lab work done on Friday Oct 20th 2011. Her lab results are as follows:

WBC 1900, HB 6.8, HCT 16, PLATELET 28000. She has been advised to get admitted and is undergoing blood

transfusion in a hospital in Chennai. She has also been having Hip pain on her left side for which there has been no tx done. She is going to have a bone marrow test scheduled for Tuesday. THere has been no hematology conuslt nor has there been any talk about her latest blood work by her physician. I am healthcare professional in the US and am concerned about tx. Please advise.

Hematologist,  's  Response
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your complete blood count report suggest you have pancytopenia means your all counts are low. You should go for bone marrow examination once. If any major cause is found in the bine marrow then you should consult haematologist. If no any causes are there in bone marrow then physician consultation is ok. So go for bone marrow examination then than take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
