The green blood came as a bit of a shock to Dr. Alana Flexman and her colleagues when they tried to put an arterial line into a patient about to undergo surgery in Vancouver's St. Paul's Hospital.

How weird. I take sumatriptan and sometimes in higher than recommended amounts (I have very bad migraines) and I would freak out if I had green blood

I knew a couple of skinks in college, but I don't think they had green blood.

There was a kid in my second grade class who thought that Japanese people had green blood. I think his uncle told him this. The teacher said it wasn't true, which rather disappointed me because I'd been hoping it was.
