How enlightening...

Anyways wish I could help out. But I read everything and I have no idea about any one of those things. Some sort of medical index or encyclopedia definetly would answer those questions. I'm suprised you don't have a textbook that covers this information. Isn't it required for your class?

Anyways a general google search "medical encyclopedia" yielded me this:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/encyclopedia.html

Found Erythroblastosis in there
Here

So I'm sure it will have some of the things you're looking for, too bad it lacks a search feature >_<

@israel: you gave me a search engine...i'm asking for websites erm...thanks though (by the way...i'm using google, yahoo, ask jeeves,msn- search engines, for all of my assignments...unfortunately, the search engines do not usually gives the right stuff you need...erm...that's based from my experience though...maybe it's just that the medical field is really one big chaotic world...and i hated it ~_~ and loved it at the same time ---->don't mind this too much haha, yeah, i know that it's confusing)

@fuse: we do have a book...but our clinical instructors are not usually merciful (yup....they know the books by heart....almost memorized them from cover to cover T_T that's why we only use our text books for studying purposes...for our assignments...research is a must, one clinical instructor even joked us by telling us that it would be better if we get our assignments from a book that is out of this country), by the way, thanks for the websites, and for the concern i'm halfway with my assignments already and i'll go "library-hopping" tomorrow....hopefully i'll finish it by then...for now....i have a modular to pass thanks again fuse for all the help ^___^


edit: hey thanks guys to those who helped, my assignment is done already (just passed it to my teach a while ago) i'm closing this thread now thanks everyone!! (esp. to Fuse...erm...owkei...to Israel for the effort of typing i appreciated it really ^___^)
