Paul Brandon helpfully contributed
 
>Enter "hematidrosis" in a MedLine search.

Paul modestly suggested this was a simple solution to the problem, 
easily arrived at. Not so. I also tried a web search, and came up 
with haematohydrosis,  hematohydrosis, and hematohidrosis. None of 
these produced anything in MedLine (PubMed) except for a single 
curious reference to a report in an "undetermined language". But as 
Paul suggested, "hematidrosis" worked great.

Also of interest in Michael's post was a significant bit of 
information our usually secretive poster let slip.  I used it to 
produce the following official notice of Michael's existence and 
academic affiliation.

 Under "People search" at Daytona Beach Community College;

First Name     Last Name    Extension       Department 
Michael J        Sylvester        [     ]          Behavioral Science

Thus he lives and breathes and has an academic affiliation, bashful 
'though he may be to make use of it.  I hope this sets at ease those 
who were worrying about this matter.
