Lack of Media Coverage of SCD

[MNT_Phil]

Hello everyone.

My name is Phil Riches and I'm an editor at Medical News Today. I'd be really keen to speak with someone who has SCD as I feel that there is nowhere near enough media coverage given to the condition and it's an area I think we should be addressing a lot more.

We have recently launched a series entitled 'Through my eyes', whereby we aim to give people a platform to write in-depth about their personal experience living with a condition, looking at both the physical and emotional effects.

I have included a few examples below:

medicalnewstoday.com/articl...

medicalnewstoday.com/articl...

If anybody would be interested in penning a piece for ourselves (or speaking with myself in an interview format if that's easier) then please do reach out to me either here or via email [e-mail]. I understand this is a very sensitive issue and this could be done anonymously if that would be preferred.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and if anyone has any queries at all please let me know.

Kind regards,

Phil

Dont forget to cover the trait there is a difficult version of it Hemoglobin S and it's a silent killer, none enough coverage in those of us who have pains and hospitalizations like someone with the disease. Holler if you're interested. I also have my own show

Www.findingselfwithjosannasworld.com

We will be having an episode about this silent but deadly illness.
