A lone neutrophil stands alone against a horde of gram negative bacteria. He is the last of his kind, the single granulocyte rising from the ashes of a marrow once verdant with haematopoiesis, now overrun with blasts. As the endotoxin rushes towards him, he smiles, for on the horizon he can see the glimmer of tazocin rushing through the blood vessels like Gandalf leading the Rohirrim to Helm’s Deep. While the Bloody Minded Cinematic Universe remains in pre-production, you can sate your appetite with a podcast on neutropenia for now.
