Your Body Is Speaking
Your blood does not clot properly. What is a small cut for others, a bruise, a trivial matter, becomes for you an event that demands attention. Bleeds last longer, joints swell, and at every small injury your body shows you that it has a limit others do not know. Medically, hemophilia is a genetically determined disorder of blood clotting — specific clotting factors are absent or reduced because the genetic blueprint for them has been altered. That is not a metaphor, but biology.
