Modern Blood

from Storyfeather Hosted by Nila L. Patel

I'm no scientist, but I ended up learning a lot about blood when I was young. I have—or had—an inherited condition called thalassemia major. My medical charts have all the details. I don't need to go over it. Suffice it to say, I had a fairly serious version of the condition and had to get regular blood transfusions. And because the transfusions raised my iron levels, I had to get something called chelation therapy. And I had to worry about dying before my parents. And leaving my little sister, Gina, all by herself to deal with everything. Along came Modern Blood. How does a recipient of a remarkable new blood substitute both benefit and suffer from the wonders and horrors of the revolutionary treatment? Find out in this episode of Storyfeather.
