Ancestry can be an important consideration for many haematological conditions—but "there is no justified biological reason why reference intervals should vary by race", write @acweyand and Patrick McGann. Read their call-to-action in @TheLancetHaem: https://t.co/RnDsoNb8Ic.

I’ve been looking forward to this arriving.

An entire textbook dedicated to #sicklecell. This is incredible, and I hope it finds its way into medical schools, nursing programs, and more.

My father passed away last night in Windsor, @Canada.

@GovCanHealth has made it difficult for family every step of the way. They have unclear and unreasonable expectations, rules, and response times.

Because we > I

Because truth > lies

Because our future > our past

Because those who’ve been disproportionately impacted should NOT be last.

Because I believe in God AND science

I got the #CovidVaccine.

Provocative question.

15 year old with #SickleCell buzzes nurse at the same time as a 15 year old with new diagnosis of #Cancer.

Both have pain and request their PRN morphine.

Who gets their morphine first? Why?

We are trying to look at these uncomfortable issues.

[Ahmar U. Zaidi, MD (Dr. Z) @drzsicklecell]

Who wants to tell her...
