Reflections on a life with severe haemophilia. Part 2: Education and dreams of the future

We rejoin Terence O'Rourke to as he reflects on growing up with haemophilia, not being able to go to school, his education, and the impact of this on his life.


Now in his 80s, Terence also looks back on his career aspirations and goals. What comes through is his determination to pursue these despite the obstacles he faced as a young person with haemophilia and limited access to treatment.
