#15 - Hydroxyurea and Sickle Cell Outside of the United States w/ Dr. Patrick McGann
Apple Podcasts
SpotifyEpisode Description
On Episode 15, Dr. Z and Dr. C welcome Dr. Patrick McGann, an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children's Hospital (one of the best sickle cell centers in the country, maybe even the world!) Dr. McGann always knew he wanted to be a pediatrician when he was growing up in Boston, but little did he know where that childhood dream would take him. He talks about how his path led him toward his love for sickle cell and speaks on the work he has done in Angola, noting how differently the disease affects communities outside of the United States. Dr. C, Dr. Z and Dr. McGann also discuss the positive effects of Hydroxyurea in the sickle cell community, the small portion of patients who have experienced negative side effects from this therapy, and how this medication is used in patients with sickle cell.
