A Career Inspired by Disease
Ms. Dobson says that her worst symptom is fatigue, but by managing her overall health, Ms. Dobson has been largely able to avoid the strong painkillers that are so common in sickle cell care. Ever since her treatment at Jamaica Hospital, Ms. Dobson has pursued a career in nursing. She is dedicated to improving the care of all of her patients, but particularly to increasing awareness of sickle cell disease and the best ways to treat its symptoms.
