To the anonymous user rewriting a lot of this article. It looks like good stuff, but can you let me know your sources? Zeimusu 13:48, 2004 Nov 3 (UTC)
- Most of this is stuff found in any medical textbook. I don't think there is an immediate need for resources on the material added. JFW | T@lk 16:43, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Ok, I'm fine with that.Zeimusu

[edit] Sympotoms Of Thromcytopenia
Does anyone know what the symptoms of having a high platelet count over 1 million? Mdougherty79@msn.com
[edit] History
I found a useful historical resource about the discovery of platelets and their function here. JFW | T@lk 21:26, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Richard Hill Norris
I have only found one source that links Prof Richard Hill Norris to the function of platelets. In contrast, Prof Douglas Brewer (himself a Birmingham emeritus) attributes the findings to Bizzozero, as I have now indicated in the article.
I have emailed Prof Brewer to see whether he knows more about R.H. Norris. For the moment, I think it is safer to attribute the discovery to Schultze and Bizzozero as per Brewer's historical article. JFW | T@lk 22:35, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
i think that uneed less big words and make it simple
- Prof Brewer kindly replied to my email. Firstly, there was no University of Birmingham yet in 1878. Secondly, while Norris published on haematomorphology he did not primarily discover platelet function. I regard the matter as settled. JFW | T@lk 15:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Anucleate
Do platelets in nonmammalian vertebrates have a nucleus? It would be nice if this were clarified in the article. --Aranae 03:09, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What images should be used?
Suggest that the page has a picture of platelets on a blood film, perhaps a EM of a platelet as well, perhaps an image of a megakaryocyte at well. This is to replace the picture of the bag of plateletes, which is also on the platelet transfusion page. Snowman 14:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
