must be brand new to QA....my QA person would definitely know that cold agglutinin has to do with blood and not the spine...IMHO..and wouldn't make those *most diabetics have hypertension* types of blanket statements and my QA person is up there in years of experience......and work ethics.
Who knows - anyone can be anything on this medium we call the web.
Take it all with a HUGE grain of salt, and believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear in the life. For all we know, the poster could be a troll. Again, we don't know that yet - we'd have to take a *wait and watch* attitude.

In French, the term *cul-de-sac* means bottom of the bag (no, it doesn't mean *dead-end street*), bottom of the sack, to us, in English.
