The nice people at the American Society
of Hematology did another Slide Saturday Challenge. It’s a sickle cell.
But I’m not at all keen with their
comment “did you guess correctly?”. This rather implies that they were
expecting answers of target cell, keratocyte, blister cell, polychromasia,
basophil, and pretty much everything you might find in the index of an atlas of
haematology. To my mind there are two acceptable answers here.
- Sickle cell (or posh terms for the same)
- Don’t know
Perhps I’m being pedantic, but we really
shouldn’t be encouraging people to guess. Perhaps the comment might be phrased
differently in future.
Perhaps I should have commented on the
original Facebook post?
