A systematic approach to looking at odd myeloid cells… I tend to look at them, wave my hands in the air and announce “yuk”. Not any more.
I’m getting a lot from this course…
This is (supposed to be) a reflective diary by a (not very) anonymous biomedical scientist who works somewhere in the south of England. One day this diary may well be submitted to the Health and Care Professions Council as evidence of ongoing continual professional development....
31 January 2023 (Tuesday) - Transfusion Evidence Alert
