If you had hemophilia, would it be possible to close a wound by searing it?


You'll often hear about people searing wounds shut in desperate situations with various, impromptu intruments. (Such as hot oil, irons, etc.) Would this be enough to seal a wound on a hemophiliac?

Cauterizing a wound should close it, regardless of one's condition. However, if done improperly, it will not stop the bleeding, and while the skin may be closed, the patient will still bleed out and die.
