Im here today talking with kathleen mcglothlin, whos written an incredibly important and deeply reported book on the blood industry, which is kind of this almost dystopian seeming world. But its a huge economy and industry here in the United States. And kathleen, i wondered if you could start by telling us a bit about your own personal connection to this industry . Of course. So its really nice to be here with you. My interest in the blood plasma industry began about 20 years ago when i was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, and the treatment for that illness is a medication that is made from pieces of human blood plasma. So its called intravenous human immuno globin or ivig for short. I think most people whove never had to take it have never heard of it. Maybe its not a common drug, but it is made from other peoples blood plasma and so for about 20 years, often on, i have been having regular infusions of this medication. And it takes a long tim
