A drama on Von Willebrand's Disease

"Gyne" is a nice Japanese drama which has mention of a case of Von Willebrand's Disease...A female patient who dies due to hemorrhaging during and after child birth is undiagnosed Von Willebrand's Disease affected individual...One day her daughter cuts her forearm and she keeps bleeding even after getting stitches...that's when the Emergency doctor sends her to a Hematologist...The Hematologist runs a Factor Assay Test to find out the possibility of Von Willebrand's...The Hematologist tells one of the Gynecology doctors about the actual cause of pre and post child birth hemorrhaging of the female who died...It happened due to Von Willebrand's Disease...The Hematologist also finds out that the new born baby and the elder daughter of the female who died due to severe bleed also suffer from Von Willebrand's.

The message is to get a diagnosis of a bleeding disorder even if there is slightest of the possibility.

This drama will always be special for me...Cheers to Director of Gyne...Thank you for spreading awareness about Von Willebrand's Disease Mr. Director!!!
