I saw a new
word today. “Dacrocyte”. I looked it up.
There’s a Wikipedia entry on
the things. A dacrocyte is what I would call a tear-drop cell. You see
dacrocytes in myelophthisic anemia.
No … I’d never
heard of that either. But it too has a Wikipedia
entry. Apparently myelophthisic anemia is what I used to think of as the
anaemia associated with myelofibrosis.
I wish they’d
stop changing the names…
