Just about in order:

erythopoiten > erythropoietin (throughout)
Pernious > Pernicious
If you loose a lot of blood > If you lose a lot of blood
ellipse-shaped > elliptical
these conditions mean the that the cells > these conditions mean that the cells

Hey Z - you do say you can't spell!
In picking these ones up I have to say you're not the only one who can't spell them, and you could easily have been given the wrong spelling by one of your sources - google searches turn up numerous examples of your version of the words.

Yes but I'm also a medical student, and the medical textbooks, that I've used to write these would have spelt them correctly

Z, don't worry. I've had entries with much more typos and other things in it. The only difference is that this time I somehow failed to notice them. The same applies for the inhouse-Editors though.
