Excellent talk by Dr. Alishlash on pediatric sickle cell disease. Astonishing how underrepresented this disease has been studied and funded. @sicklecellbham@TikhoFoundation
When you assess #SickleCell pain, the only number that matters is the patient’s pain rating.
Not the heart rate, not the blood pressure, not the respiratory rate.
Not the hemoglobin, fetal hemoglobin, or reticulocyte count.

Stumbled on season 4 of the @ResidentFOX(season 4 episode 7) where they briefly showed a patient with Sickle cell disease. Had me thinking of warriors each time we visit the E.R.
