RBC, rbc -  RBC is preferred abbreviation for red blood count; rbc for red blood cells.


WBC, wbc - WBC is preferred abbreviation for white blood count; wbc for white blood cells.


The way I remember it is WBC for whenever they are giving like CBC result; wbc for urine or CSF results.

Laying is correct if she is laying an egg or laying a baby down for a nap. If you recline, you are lying. Sounds like a insult, doesn't it, like she isn't telling the truth.

Subject: She has not stopped posting her name

She was on last night answering the one about chemo drugs.

No, you are not the only one seeing this. We seem to be the only ones talking about it.

I have noticed her quite a bit in the last few days and it just amazes me the answers she gives. I do not think she will stop, and I agree, I hope the people she is giving the info too will double check or leave it out and let their QA people handle it.

These are legal documents.
