With that bleeding disorder...it would be pretty easy to bleed to death, no? D:
ReplyDeleteThese animations were short, but helpful!
ReplyDeleteAbout the QPD, is that disease similar to hemophilia?
Thanks for posting the video and article Leslie!
You told us about the QPD disease in class! We talked about how a someone died by a paper cut.

It must be really tough to be a hemophiliac beacuse one cut can bring you to the hospital

I would be a very frustrated person if I were a hemophiliac. Even for the smallest cut, I need o go to the hospital... what Lauren said, It must be pretty tough....
