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.

Having ASH FOMO But being nutcracker mom Totally worth it #ASHaiku #ASH24

Excited to make my @hcwvshunger.bsky.social donation to Houston Food Bank today on behalf of #Kidvengers!

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...

Pop quiz! Which city is this? #ASH15 ✨Bonus: #ASHsm began at this meeting. Which session was it for? Friends who might remember: @jmikhaelmd.bsky.social @mtmdphd.bsky.social @marrow.bsky.social @sicklecelldoc.bsky.social @bldcancerdoc.bsky.social @myelomateacher.bsky.social #ASHThrowback #ASH24

😞 this popped up in my memories. #SickleCell disease is absolutely devastating.

For our first post on #bluesky we’re highlighting our executive director Cassandra Trimnell presented on the Impact of Digital Advocacy in #SickleCell Care at the annual GASCDO conference held in #Muscat, #Oman this past week. #GASCDOconference

⬇️ there’s a patient with #SickleCell disease in an ER right now who is not being believed that they are in pain.

Living with #SickleCell is a challenging physically, mentally, emotionally. It affects every aspect of life. www.statnews.com/2024/11/11/c...

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

🧵 This is a tough read. And there's layers here. Avoidable mortality in the ED is always tragic, and services under immense strain are always the primary cause. But let's face it, the poor care Sickle Cell patients frequently receive is due to racism. www.mylondon.news/news/health/...

Time for another heme #skeetorial #Medsky Let’s talk about Racism in medicine. Sadly, sickle cell disease (SCD) highlights this issue all too well. 1/n

Let us never forget the what #sicklecell warriors face every day. www.ted.com/talks/ahmar_...

You can’t tell a person with #sicklecell is having a “crisis” or pain event with labs. You know because they tell you.
