Emergency departments (ED) are inevitable for people living with sickle cell disease (SCD). Many clinicians in the ED, however, misunderstand the disease and perceive patients as drug seekers. This episode explores how education can help shift attitudes and how proper data and support can improve clinics. Shauna Whisenton describes an experience that is common for people living with the disease when they visit the ED, and shares how the ASH Research Collaborative is committed to engaging the community in research and clinical trials. Despite her own negative experiences with ED doctors, Dr. Titilope Fasipe recognizes that there are physicians who actually care about individuals with the disease and want to do better Drs. James Eckman, JJ Strouse, and Sophie Lanzkron describe the changes they have made in their hospitals to provide better care to people living with SCD who visit the ED.
