Question
Yesterday, my father said he felt very uncomfortable all over his body and he seemed quite exhausted. I’m very worried that he might collapse due to his condition. Today, I took my father to the hospital for a thorough check-up and we conducted a Down Syndrome screening, which showed a high-risk result. I would like to ask you for advice. What should I do if the Down Syndrome screening result is high-risk?
Answer
I reviewed the situation you described, and it seems that the test your father took at the hospital was not a Down Syndrome test. Perhaps you didn’t notice clearly which test it was. The Down Syndrome test is mainly for screening Down Syndrome, a condition of congenital Stupid . This type of screening is only done for pregnant women who go to the hospital. Therefore, I suggest you consult with the hospital properly to find out exactly which test your father had done.
