😞 this popped up in my memories.

#SickleCell disease is absolutely devastating.

💔 #SickleCell disease is the most clear example of how the healthcare system fails patients of color.

It’s unethical and disgusting for this to happen, and they’ll look you in the eye and tell you it’s not happening.

But the data tells a different story…

⬇️ there’s a patient with #SickleCell disease in an ER right now who is not being believed that they are in pain.

#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
