The nose bleed did not appear as an alarming sign of a serious health condition. But why wouldn't it stop? Mercy Njeru, 38, from Chuka, reported to a local hospital that March 2019. She got no relief. At the Meru Level Five, a doctor stopped the bleeding from what was a tiny scratch in her nostril.
But that was not all. The doctor delivered unexpected news to Njeru: "Your liver could be sick. We need to run tests."
