Factor 12 aka Hageman Factor 

Patient John Hageman = Hageman Factor 

Hageman factor was first discovered in 1955 when a routine preoperative blood sample  of the 37-year-old railroad brakeman John Hageman (1918) was found to have prolonged clotting time in test tubes, even though he had no hemorrhagic symptoms. Hageman was then examined by hematologist Oscar Ratnoff, who found that Hageman lacked a previously unidentified clotting factor.
