This year #Forrestboy is a domino for #HemoHelperHalloween! Doctors often explain having a bleeding disorder by using a dominos analogy. Factors I, II, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII and von Willebrand factor work like dominos, in a chain reaction. This is called the #coagulationcascade. When one of the proteins is absent, the dominos stop falling, and the chain reaction is broken. And now you know! 😉 #bleedingdisordersawareness #hemophiliaawareness #afibrinogenemia #clottingcascade #vwd
