Do they perform flow cytometry of bone marrow aspirate? Does the
ordeing clinician specify which antibodies to use, or does s/he just
specify which disease he's looking for, or does he specify nothing?
How does one interpret the flow cytometry scatter plot? Which is more
sensitive and specific, flow cytometry or microscopy?

Don't tell me that you are having bma done based on your previous blood
results?

I think I smell a German baron here!

With experience and expertise.

Define the terms "sensitive" and "specific" with particular reference to the
context you have in mind.

Sensitive and specific for abnormal erythropoietin receptors. And I
haven't seen the heme/onc yet --I will in an hour--, but I'll
recommend one.

Let me give you some advice - if you see horse sh.t in a field full of
horses, don't bother looking for a zebra.
