🩸#MorphologyMonday | Case MM260615 onlycells.co.uk/mm260615/ A patient came to the ED with a fever. Their FBC showed a low PLT count (58) and so a wet prep was done to rule out clumps. Instead of clumps there was something else to be seen! What do you think it could be? More images at 🔗 above.

That first sip of caffeine during a long shift is less of a drink and more of a total reboot! I was looking at a film and spotted this neutrophil that perfectly captured my depleted "pre-coffee" state. So I turned it into a mug. What's your beverage of choice? ☕ Grab yours here: 👉 onlycells.shop

"Why do you wear an analog watch in a digital world?" www.fratellowatches.com/why-do-you-w... Having owned bands, digital watches, smart watches, trackers, automatic and winding watches, the reason I always go back to analog is because smart watches are just too noisy. What about you?

Niece went to sea life today. Me: So what did you see? Her: I saw a shark, and they had a pool and I touched a star fish. Me: Cool. Did you know they have horses in the sea as well? Her: What?! Me: Yeah seahorses. Her: They look like an 'f' but they're not an 'f' and they have a long mouth

A steady light A sonnet celebrating the support and guidance nurses provide during times of need. #InternationalNursesDay

A steady light

With quiet grace, they move from bed to bed,
A calming voice, a touch that soothes the pain,
Through sleepless nights and words that go unsaid,
They stand where hope and healing must remain.
They lift the weak, dress wounds both seen and deep,
They chart each sign, yet see the soul beneath,
They guard our rest while we drift into sleep,
And offer peace in moments filled with grief.
From birth’s first cry to twilight’s final breath,
They are the thread that runs through joy and strife,
A shield in illness, soft in face of death,
Restoring dignity and guarding life.
No crown they wear, yet heroes true they are—
A steady light, our ever-guiding star.

War is in some scenarios a necessary evil, and should always be a last resort. Anyone who glamorises or celebrates it is blind to its true cost and complicit in the suffering it brings. Because in the end, it is usually the innocents who pay the ultimate price.
