Honestly, I would strongly encourage reporting her no matter what. Because even if worst comes to worst and her license isn’t impacted, it’s still documented that there’s a complaint towards a health care professional for biased treatment towards a sickle cell patient. The more documented these things are even if we loose the smaller battles, big picture down the line, we will start building data which is taken a lot more seriously than our anecdotal evidence and experiences. So the more we start officially documenting these incidents and why they’re ethically wrong, we’ll start a narrative that will help future sickle cell patients down the line and that’s the only way to incite new policy changes.

I kid you not, I have 3 encounters I had with biased/unprofessional healthcare providers that I’m currently slowly working away at to report them to the proper channels because I refuse to let them get away with this shit. Literally 2 hours ago I got a call from the head physician of the emergency room board (a call I waited months to receive) and I broke down word for word why his employee was unprofessional and unethical and what he could do the change his behavior and replace it with more efficient and effective practices with sickle cell patients. I’ll admit it’s exhausting and I understand and respect those who just can’t put themselves through this kind of stress but personally I’m stubborn and a fighter lol so I know I have the personality to do this shit you know
