I know this has been disputed before, however I believe the arguments put forwards were incorrect. The internationally accepted spelling is "Haematology" and is the most common variant used in scientific journals. The word is not British spelling as most readers and editors seem to believe, but an amalgamation of the British and American spellings. The original word coined in England was "Haemology" (which is still used as the British English spelling) before the American variant "Hematology" arose.

Also the image is not of the blood but of renal cells!! There are more appropriate images on Wikimedia. Vivrolfe ( talk) 12:27, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
The image is absolutely unrelated to hematology, maybe a slide showing AML blast's with Auer rods would be more appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.73.76.65 ( talk) 03:43, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
