Most assembly people drone on about the budget, while I was taping comments about the Fracking health study, I also captured this.  I don't know anyone that is not moved towards sympathy upon learning about the plight of those with Sickle-Cell Anemia.  Hopefully or maybe orphan drug status if not already granted might encourage development of drugs.  Yes it is a genetic disease however the problem is mostly mechanical and in fluid dynamics, if the cells did not block blood flow imagine 90% of the symptoms might be relieved.  Traumatic Brain Injury is another issue that leaves many disabled.
