Spinning Blood (The History of Hemophilia)

"Spinning Blood" refers to the history and understanding of hemophilia, a genetic disorder that impairs blood clotting. Historically, people with hemophilia faced severe health challenges, often referred to as "the royal disease" due to its prevalence among European royalty. Advances in medical science, particularly in the 20th century, have led to better diagnosis and treatment options, including clotting factor replacement therapies. This progress has significantly improved the quality of life for those affected by hemophilia, transforming it from a life-threatening condition to a manageable one. The story intertwines medical breakthroughs with personal experiences of resilience.
