Dr Michael Mosesson’s book, describing his vast contributions to the field of fibrinogen research, is full of rich and often very funny anecdotes of encounters during his « Journeys of a Clot Doctor ».

Readers who have had the chance to discuss and debate with “Mike” at one of the Fibrinogen Workshops organised by the International Fibrinogen Research Society, the founding of which is described in a very entertaining chapter of this book, will immediately recognize his wit and style.
