The word hematologist comes from the Greek word haimo (blood) and the Latin word logia (the study of).  The term "hematology" was first recorded between 1805 and 1815. 

For those of you that are old enough, you may have seen the film "Hemo the Magnificent" when you were in school.  It told all about the circulatory system.

A hematologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating blood disorders. Hematology is a medical specialty that studies the blood, blood-forming organs, and blood-related diseases. Hematological tests help diagnose diseases like anemia, leukemia, sickle cell anemia, and hemophilia.

My blood type is B-. When this was first discovered in my teens, they hit me up for donations until I told the hematologist he might as well save his needles and install a zipper.
