Fighting a Global Disease
Many people in this country think Sickle Cell Anemia is a blood disorder that only affects African Americans, and it is a disease that is disappearing. But these are just two of the misconceptions surrounding a worldwide disease. On this show, my guests and I discuss both the facts and the misconceptions surrounding the blood disorder, and we also discuss why having the facts about the disease can be critical for its treatment and for those who have it.
