"I strongly believe in the power of expressing my emotions. Whenever I feel low, I cry and I write about my pain. I tell myself it’s okay to not feel okay! This helps me push out all the toxic emotions and creates room for positivity."

#repost@sicklecell101 Did you know African countries were behind the founding of World Sickle Cell Day?
It took Sassou 5 years of advocating for the global recognition of #sicklecell disease before the resolution for #WorldSickleCellDay was introduced.
Stay tuned! #WSCD2020

I am an orthopaedic surgeon. No one needs a joint replacement now. Use my theatres, use the beds in my ward, use ME: I would make the worst intensivist, but I can put a drip, transport patients, clean the floor, triage patients... #StopElectiveSurgery#flatteningthecurve
Thank you Dr. @ahmaruroojzaidi! Knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate providers like you are the reason that patients, caregivers, and many others who care continue to feel a sense of hope in the midst of a biased, broken, and profit- seeking healthcare system.
🚨🚨🚨
#SickleCell disease is not sickle cell disease is not sickle cell disease is not sickle cell disease.
Every patient is different biologically, has had different life experiences, has different access to resources.
STOP TRYING TO TREAT THEM ALL THE SAME.

.@ginakolata#SickleCell disease is more complex than dollars and cents. I hope you take a look at my thoughts, and know that a community of providers and patients with a real sense of the disease are making it a priority to push a factual narrative. @nytimes
