Very informative and insightful 🙌🏻
Society needs this kind of awareness.. great topic sir
Informative episode
Very informative session sir great work
I have friends who have sickle cell disease as well as one with thal major. Medical education is not equipped to handle taking lectures in an empathetic manner regarding this. So many times professors without having knowledge of someone in the class having these diseases starts to say "I've never seen a pregnancy with thal major because they don't survive upto that age" or something on the similar lines regarding the grave prognosis after getting iron overload. It is a requirement to teach us that but we often forget someone with the disease is sitting among us
Emotions asscoiated with a chronic disease explained so well!
