This disorder typically affects black persons. It appears a simple switch in saline type can provide a lot of benefit, for them.

Doctors won’t yet know this, so please consider informing your doctor about this, if in need.

“Roger 51, administer 50mg IV D5W ringers lactate and transport as soon as possible.”

My wife worked as an RN in Saudi Arabia for a couple of years, and the Saudis also suffer from sickle cell. Their answer to these outbreaks of pain? MORPHINE! They just show up at the ER claiming bad sickle cell pain, and BOOM, they shoot em up.

And the government pays for it! So, as you can CLEARLY see, Saudi Arabia doesn’t have a drug problem.
