    Psychosocial support and bye bye, BioMarin

    Bleeding disorders aren't just medical conditions — they're lived experiences shaped by resilience, community, and support. On this episode of BloodStream Podcast, Patrick James Lynch sits down with the WFH working group to explore why psychosocial care matters just as much as medicine and how human connections help people thrive.  Rocky Williams joins to share the power of positivity and what it truly means to be more than "fine," inspiring the bleeding disorders community to dream bigger, aim higher, and embrace life fully. We also break down a major shift in gene therapy: BioMarin's decision to pull Roctavian from the market, what it means for patients, and why preserving critical clinical data is essential for ongoing research and safety.  Tune in for a conversation that blends science, mindset, and community — because living with bleeding disorders is about more than treatments, it's about life itself.
