In the third part of our conversation, Terence O’Rourke looks back on his young adulthood in the late 1950s and early 1960s, starting work in an architect’s office and becoming a student. 

This was an important time for Terence. He was studying with his peers for the first time and embarking on the early stages of what would become a very successful career.

Terence also reflects on how his haemophilia was treated during this time – and how he questioned the accepted methods of treating bleeds at a time when most people accepted that doctors knew best.
