Correction needed here!!!

What I meant to say... was.... the 11.6 reading is the concentration of

hemoglobin in ONE DECILITER--that is, ONE TENTH of a liter (i.e., 100 ml.) of

whole blood, and NOT ONE LITER, as I mistakenly wrote in my previous post.

Sorry 'bout that misplaced decimal point.

Changes everything--- 11.6 in a LITER of blood would give her a hemoglobin of

1.6. Sheeeez! Now THAT would be scary!!!
