The Unveiling of Sickle Cell Anemia – A Life’s Story
The doctors and nurses that I trusted so much and that I felt were like a family, apparently did not feel the same way about me as I thought. Their frustrations with their inability to understand and address the reasons why my disease is so progressed led them to begin to question me! For some reasons as many of you know, my hospitalizations last for months on time but they began to push for my discharge days into my admittance into the hospital. Why? Because they wanted to get rid of me as soon as they could regardless of whether I was still in pain.
