Helping patients and caregivers share their voices

Study Results

While Rare Patient Voice does not have access to the results of studies conducted by our clients, we do conduct internal studies from time-to-time and share these results back with our community. In a recent study, we asked patients with Sickle Cell Disease to share some words or perceptions that make them cringe when other people talk about their condition.  Here are a few of their responses:

  • “I think the thing that makes me cringe also is that people believe that it is a Black disease and it’s not, and that people believe that sickle cell patients are drug seekers and that we fake our pain.”
  • “The word, sickler, like healthcare professionals or someone else refer to you as a sickler, that word is kind of derogatory towards a person with sickle cell disease.”
  • “Some words that people say about me, mostly doctors and nurses. She’s a drug addict. She’s a pill popper, drug seeker. She’s an addict.”
  • “‘Are you really in pain I don’t see, you look fine to me. You don’t look like you’re in pain or you don’t look like you don’t feel good.’ How dare you judge how I feel based off of my looks. And that’s another thing, we get judged off of our looks when we go into the emergency room to go get treated.”
  • “I wish people wouldn’t call us sicklers. I mean, individuals who have cancer, they don’t call them cancers people. I also don’t like that… I suppose all patients are classified as drug addicts or drug seekers.”
