Host Dr. Wally Smith talks to Kyle Smith, an advocate and SCD warrior, about his many experiences with pain from the disease. Dr. Titilope Fasipe, an SCD provider and an individual living with the disease, discusses how sickle cell is defined in other countries and differences in perception and understanding of SCD in the United States. SCD experts and care providers Dr. Sophie Lanzkron and Dr. JJ Strouse share strategies and guidelines for managing pain crises in the emergency department. Understanding and applying objective guidelines will help clinicians recognize and avoid implicit bias. Learn more by reading through the resources in the list below.
