Weekly Best of Nite Lite for Oct 12

What's going on with him?

What should people do or what is the reaction that people can do to try to help someone if they are going through a sickle cell crisis?

I think the first thing is to immediately just take them to the emergency room because you never know what's going on.

It's a lot of complications that can happen from sickle cell, like it can cause strokes.

It can cause organ damage, tissue death, bone death.

And so it's important to just take that person immediately to the hospital so they can assess them.

and see what's going on.

What does it look like?

What should people be looking for?

Is there a certain thing?

Some people, you might just be screaming.

You

don't understand?

Because of the pain, people may grab at their arms, they may grab at their back or just be screaming.

Like you said, it's so intense and the intensity of it was the problem.

It affects the body and it's just excruciating itself.

You see somebody bent over or

hard to breathe or just grabbing at their arms, legs, or just screaming in pain.

I'm having pain.

Then I think that's when we could address them and just take them right to the hospital or even call 911.

Okay.
