Episode 65 - Take Your Breath Away | Pulmonary Embolism
“Give me a 2cc bolus of clot stat Emma. No wait - not there!” But it was too late, and Em-Bolused the 2cc of clot straight to the lungs”. Join the Bloody Minded Crew as they get to the heart… no get to the lungs of the topic of Pulmonary Embolism.

Episode 63 - Virchow’s Revenge | Introduction to Venous Thromboembolism
Rudolf the red nosed physician Wrote a very cool triad And if you ever saw it you would even say ‘Egad!’ All of the other physicians used to laugh and call him dumb They never let poor Rudolf join in the MDT fun Then one foggy clinic day a patient came to say “Rudolf with your triad so smart won’t you describe to me the pathophysiology of clotting in a way that both makes sense and fits inside the metre of this children's song” But he couldn’t, so welcome back to our next batch...

Episode 62 - The Man in the High (Lymph Node) Castle | Castleman Disease
Philip K. Dick once wrote, “Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up.” Waking up, that is, not to the alternative history universe where the Axis won WWII but rather, to a new bonus episode on Castleman disease!

Episode 61 - On The Wards: BiTE Me and other T Cell Tasty Treats
Have you stumbled onto the haematology ward only to discover patients on bizarrely named BiTE & CART therapy? Why are we giving patients CARTs? Do they come with a horse? Why does everyone freak out when these patients are febrile? Why is everyone so hung up about handwriting? What are these weird drugs? It's OK – we are here once more to demystify the acronyms – and help you know what we are giving, why we are giving it and how to manage complications of Bi-Specific and CAR-T...

Episode 60 - Twenty Pages About Basophils | Approach to Basophilia
Bamboozled by basophils bountiful booty of granules? Let’s begin brilliantly with a basophil based bonanza. Buckets and buckets of brazenly basophil related bonus banter. You beauty! But, beware the bawdy, boisterous boys babbling brobdignagian-ly about BASOPHILS. It sounds better if you read it in Hugo Weaving’s voice and it’s the 5th of November I swear.

Episode 59 - A Bad (eosino-)Feeling | Approach to Eosinophilia
The mighty eosinophil had triumphed. The last parasitic worm lay vanquished beneath his granule-studded pseudopodia. For years, he’d battled helminthic scourge, a hero in mucus armor. But now, with no foes left to smite, he grew restless. He turned his sharp gaze to pollen, peanuts, and pet dander. "Troublemakers," he muttered, unsheathing his cytotoxic arsenal. With righteous zeal, he charged into the sinuses and skin, sparking sneezes and wheals in his wake. “A threat is a threat,” he decla...

Episode 55 - Too much of a good thing | Approaching Neutrophilia
Whilst most of haematology is spent looking forlornly into the empty neutrophil cupboard like old Mother Hubbard post chemotherapy, the pendulum can also swing to the other extreme.

Episode 54 - You and What Army? | Approach to Neutropenia
A lone neutrophil stands alone against a horde of gram negative bacteria. He is the last of his kind, the single granulocyte rising from the ashes of a marrow once verdant with haematopoiesis, now overrun with blasts. As the endotoxin rushes towards him, he smiles, for on the horizon he can see the glimmer of tazocin rushing through the blood vessels like Gandalf leading the Rohirrim to Helm’s Deep. While the Bloody Minded Cinematic Universe remains in pre-production, you can sate your appeti...

Episode 49 - In The Lab: Easy as 1-2-3 | Performing a FBC
Learning to count is hard. Learning to count cells is harder. Luckily we've got an expert with us today to show us the basics. Welcome back to a new batch of episodes where we unpack the highs and lows of haematology and teach you what to do with those pesky out of range blood counts. But to do that we need to know where the numbers come from. We don't know, so we asked Mitchell Rawlings a senior scientist in haematology to come along and relieve of us of our ignorance.

Bashar was tasked with finding an expert to talk to about blood banking.
