Kate G.: Moving Beyond Being ‘Just a Carrier’
Kate G., Former Senior Project Director at Abt Global, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“For most of my life, I was ‘just a carrier’.
I didn’t find out about the risks of carrying a gene for hemophilia until the delivery of my first child.
The hospital wouldn’t admit me – even though I was well advanced in labor – until they could verify that I had adequate levels of Factor VIII, necessary for blood clotting.
Thank you, Roxanne Khamsi, for shining a light on what the medical community has previously overlooked: carriers of sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and other inherited diseases can be affected.”
