In this special episode, host Patrick James Lynch reflects on turning forty…and on forty years of life with hemophilia. Joined by Dr. Donna DiMichele, Patrick traces the parallel evolution of his own experience and the hemophilia community's journey through crisis, discovery, and innovation. From the HIV epidemic of the 1980s to the arrival of gene therapy and digital health, they explore how science, data, and humanity have shaped the story of hemophilia. Together, they ask: what have we learned, what still can't be measured, and what might the next forty years hold?
