Episode Description

Come one come all to see the thinnest extended reference in the universe. Draped over not one but TWO episodes, the Bloody Minded Crew continue to make vaguely topical references to popular recent films. Look - we go outside and experience the full gamut of popular culture. Oh and we finish up our discussion of thrombophilia testing in the lab - looking this week at activated protein C resistance testing, molecular Factor V Leiden assessment and Prothrombin gene mutations.
