I have sickle cell anemia , have had it since I was born , just because labs come back fine does not mean a patient isn't sickling . To many times nurses make this mistake and treat patients like addicts and that is truly sad , too many times this has happened to me and it prevents nurses from giving the proper treatment and respect because the whole time we are looked at like addicts , then we end up getting sent home because test results said we aren't sickling then end up worse having to take a trip back to the hospital after we already been there but didn't get proper care because results show 'we aren't sickling' So Sad !
