haemophiliac
Blood won't clot
A haemophiliac is a person who has haemophilia, a genetic disorder in which blood fails to clot properly.
Minor injuries can cause prolonged bleeding, and internal bleeding may occur spontaneously.
The condition is inherited and affects males almost exclusively, though females carry and transmit the gene.
Also spelled hemophiliac.
