Truthfully I’m not sure what I want to say about this. Sad, yes. Surprised, no. The author didnt even get the name of the gene therapy for sickle cell correct. 🤦🏻♀️ We have a lot more work to do.

The "track marks" you reported on my patient's arm are from all the times her mother begged you to call the IV team but was ignored.

#SickleCell disease is more than anemia and pain - it is a disease of premature organ failure and death. It causes unpredictable suffering in one of the most vulnerable populations in the United States. #racism #disparities #healthcare

🧵 This is a tough read. And there's layers here.
Avoidable mortality in the ED is always tragic, and services under immense strain are always the primary cause.
But let's face it, the poor care Sickle Cell patients frequently receive is due to racism.

You can’t tell a person with #sicklecell is having a “crisis” or pain event with labs. You know because they tell you.
