Showing New Factor

Today Gabriel showed the new factor that he has got. It is made by Pfizer and it was voted most sufficient because it was easy to make. Factor helps the body to clot blood but Gabriel doesn't have factor eight . He has all the other 12 factors but just not this one. Gabriel is very knowledgeable about this and it was nice to be able to share what he knows with the class.
