My year in review for reading. I set a goal of reading/listening to 70 books in 2024. I'm sitting at 66 so far. Hoping to get a couple more before the end of the year. #Reading

For the folks in the back- Hemoglobin SC is NOT “mild SCD”- it is severe and finally some data to show that HU may help! Outstanding plenary session #SCD.

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. www.doximity.com/newsfeed/14b...

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. #WorldPoetryDay #MedEd #Medtwitter #NurseTwitter

#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
