A much overdue great day for people with #sicklecelldisease. Now we need to implement these treatments. Safely. Efficiently. Ethically. Equally.
@nascc_org will be here to help!

This morning, I convened federal partners, agencies, and leaders outside of government for a conversation about Sickle Cell Disease.
By focusing on data quality and collaboration, we can truly make a difference in tackling this complex disease.

Sickle cell trait didn't kill Mr. Miller. Racism did.
As healthcare providers, we have a responsibility to interpret tests in an objective and unbiased manner. Sickle cell trait cannot cause a "sickle cell crisis". Full stop.

When there is pain, there is pain.
“Patient has 10/10 pain BUT (vitals,
labs, facial expressions, texting) stops before the BUT.
Listen to the patient, believe the patient, treat the pain

"Labs are at baseline. I dont think they're having #sicklecell pain" Drs call me nightly citing this false association. I hear it from the most empathetic residents to the most jaded attendings. Pain is complex. Diagnose pain by asking the patient #MedTwitter #NurseTwitter #SCD

The NCSCC is a historic state-funded initiative that is transforming #sicklecell care. See the clinics and community-based centers that make up the first and only network of adult specialized sickle cell disease clinics here. bit.ly/3kSpy5D #SCD

I am an inpatient #hospice doctor providing what is often more intensive comfort-focused care than what is afforded to people in the hospital (that's why my job exists at all). Hospice IS medical intervention, full stop. #hapc

@priyaparikhmd I personally prefer non-malignant...classical sort of seems to ignore all the brand new innovative stuff happening! It does make us sound pretty sophistocated though :)

@PelotonMed I felt this way until I found myself agressively lipsyncing to Dreamlover...
