Episode 113: Sickle Cell Series - “Double Duty: A Doctor's Story of Living with Sickle Cell Disease While Caring for Others”

The Fellow on Call: The Heme/Onc Podcast

This week, we have an INCREDIBLE episode for you. We welcome Titilope Fasipe, MD, PhD, who not only is the Co-Director of the Sickle Cell and Thalassemia Program at Texas Children’s and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Baylor College of Medicine, she herself also has sickle cell disease! Dr. Fasipe takes us through her life story, from childhood to now. Conducting this interview was such an eye-opening experience for us, and we hope that her message resonates with you when you care for your patients with sickle cell disease.
