Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary
Health & Fitness
Sickle cell disease (SCD) can affect many areas, including daily life, and some of the effects can be lifelong. More so, SCD impacts the quality of life for many patients in the form of depression, anxiety, executive function, and more. In partnership with The Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, Matthew Zachary Worldwide presents “The Sickle,” a three-part limited series for patients and caregivers. In each episode, you’ll hear from the people living with SCD and experts who work every day to improve their lives. We’ll learn about the lifelong care, interpersonal relationships, and medical disparities people with SCD live with and what we can do to improve them.
EPISODE ONE
Andre Harris is a 32-year-old Ph.D. student residing in Houston, Texas. He’s currently working on a doctorate in social work. Andre is the first graduate student in his family to make this academic achievement, but his road to higher education was not a smooth one. Andre has lived with chronic pain since he was a child. From strokes to pain crises, he has lived with a disease that can interrupt the flow of life. These symptoms are due to sickle cell disease (SCD), a group of genetic blood conditions that affect about 100,000 people in the U.S. In this episode, Andre talks about his earliest memories of living with SCD and the needs of the most vulnerable SCD patients. Dr. Lewis Hsu, a pediatric hematologist at the University Of Illinois Chicago and the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, explains what SCD is and how it works.
