The following is a list of Medical Conditions that is contemplated to appear on a revised NoBlood main page. In order to get this new format complete and actively online, we need input from you, our members, and especially those of you who are in the medical professions. Please take a moment to review the list below, and make any suggestions as to what you feel should be added, omitted, or modified. Bear in mind that these are intended to be fairly general categories representative of common key search terms that might be used by medical and "lay" persons to find information on NoBlood. Also, it is contemplated to include a mouse-over feature that would include sub-categories and synonyms for many of the terms listed here. There is a separate post for Treatments that needs your input, as well. Please have a go at this, with a view to our getting a relatively finished list within the next several days to a week. Thanks to all of you for your help!

[jdg1]Or “hematologic disorders”
[jdg2]Instead of “heart disease”, or in addition to?
[jdg3]Same as blood disorders
[jdg4]Could go under blood volume problems
[jdg5]Could go under blood volume problems
[jdg6]Change to “Organ failure”?
[jdg7]Should this be separate, or just leave “Ob/gynecology” category?
[jdg8]Not technically a condition, but a circumstance
[jdg9]Probably should be included under “thrombocytopenia”?
[jdg10]Should we also list this as “circulatory disorders”?
