Phillip David Real
Caption Note: Birth Certificate Note: lft heel, lft edge, darker, Auntie Em said where they pricked Phil, and it was still bleeding when they did his little footprints.
His circumcision also did not stop bleeding, and the next day Em took him to the doctor and they cauterized it. They still did not diagnose his hemophelia until later.
He had his first transfusion at 13mo Jan 19, 1964.
The heel prick test, introduced in the 1960s, was designed to collect a small blood sample from newborns to screen for rare but serious genetic conditions like phenylketonuria (PKU). This early detection allowed for timely treatment, preventing severe health issues. The test has since expanded to include screening for many other conditions.
