Doc_M & snoozedoctor: For all you do, this blood's for you

Short educational video that shows the path of a red blood cell. Dedicated not just to VideoSift's resident doctors, but to all the health & research professionals who've made it their lives' work to deal with the disgusting human body.
Doc_Msays...

I'm research not treatment, but thanks for the shout-out. and nice vid. Appropriately though, my last job was as a clinical hematology assistant. Useless trivia: A Coulter cell-counter can count 10,000 blood cells in less than one minute and check all the following:
Number AND SIZE AND CLUMPING of red cells
Number AND [sorta] CLOTTING of platelets
Number AND TYPE of white cells (there are a crapload of types of white cells)

And if anything is wrong, it can MAKE a slide of the sample for you so you can look at it yourself and see it. Robots ftw.

When you get your blood drawn, they often check all this... in one minute. In our department (10 people) in our company we did a thousand a day.

Man do I wish I could get rid of that dang underscore. Someone already had "Doc".
