red blood cell expert needed! - NDMT

Posted: Aug 11, 2011

ESL doc is giving a report on red blood cells. He says: "There are no fragmented or s/l destructive/destructed cells and no s/l hammer/halma cells, either, only polychromatic." I am at a loss. I'm wondering if hammer/halma is helper cell, but I really don't know. Anyone?

I think he's saying - sm

...destructed rather than destroyed. Hemolysis refers to the destruction of red blood cells.

For "no hammer/halma cells", can you hear either "no hemolysis" or "no hemolyzed cells"?

Hope that helps!

... moving its head back and forth trying to hear the sound of the can opener at dinnertime--only I'm trying to hear the sounds of an ESL dictator! I am thinking the hammer/halma was actually "helmet" cells. I googled everything I could think of, and "helmet" apparently refers to some kind of scooped-out RBC that they supposedly look like a helmet under the microscope. (Who thinks this stuff up??) Thanks for your help. Hemolysis and hemolyzed make sense for blood, too, but I think this was a specific type of cell rather than a process. Thanks again!

helmet cell sounds great! - arf

I had never heard of them before, and there do not seem to be many posts in the archives about them, but then again, maybe that is a good thing.

I need some expert opinions please on online schools for both coding and billing courses for my daughter. She is looking into Andrews, Keiser, Rasmussen and Ashworth. We do understand these are separate courses, billing and coding. She is leaning toward Keiser University because they offer financial aid and assistance, however it is expensive. We have read the excellent reviews about Andrews but worry about no financial aid such as grants or student loans. Any help or opinions would be greatly a ...

Several years ago, Book of Style made the recommendation to drop the possessive form for names of tests, diseases, etc. - i.e., Alzheimer's disease is now Alzheimer disease BUT is Alzheimer's when standing alone, i.e., I have Alzheimer's (disease implied but not written) and most facilities have since adopted this practice. That said, if a doctor refers to an instrument such as Metzenbaum scissors, there is no possessive used....but if doctor says "I used the Metzenbaum's ...

This dictator sounds about 70+ and is still using a device that keeps fading out, some kind of cell phone. Don't they know how bad that is?
