Doctor to Doctor - A Warrior in White: Patient and Practitioner
About this Event
Part of the 20th Annual Sickle Cell Disease Educational Summit, themed “20/20 Vision: Our Legacy Continues,” this powerful in-person event features eight physicians who live with sickle cell disease. Their dual perspective—as both providers and patients—offers rare, profound insight into the challenges of pain management, systemic bias, and compassionate care.
In this intimate session, you’ll hear how these doctors are reshaping conversations about trust, empathy, and belief in patient experience—especially in the context of chronic pain.
This event is a call to action for providers to listen differently, believe deeply, and treat with humility.
