9 March 2025 (Sunday) - Slide Saturday Challenge

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?
