haemophiliacs
Those lacking clotting
Haemophiliacs are people who have haemophilia, a genetic disorder in which blood fails to clot normally.
Even minor injuries can cause dangerous or prolonged bleeding.
The condition is inherited and affects males almost exclusively, though females can be carriers.
The clinic specializes in treating haemophiliacs.
Also spelled hemophiliacs.
