Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is a hematologist? A hematologist is a doctor who specializes in treating diseases of the blood. My focus is on non-cancerous blood conditions.
2. What is Sickle Cell Anemia? It's a genetic blood disorder where red blood cells are shaped like a crescent or "sickle." This can cause them to get stuck in blood vessels, leading to pain and other complications.
