Nursing Crib. In depth case study.

Blood and circulation are explained in this program through the story of a sickle cell sufferer. By looking at the ways in which sickle cell affects the body, the program explains how the blood circulatory system operates and also how technology is being used to improve diagnosis and treatment of a major disease.

Beginning with a brief history of how medical science became aware of lymphatic cancer and providing an outline of the basic concepts involved, this program then distinguishes between Hodgkin’s and Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, illustrates the difference between B-cell and T-cell lymphoma, and explores other topics related to the disease.

This program from The Doctor Is In features sickle cell clinics in Atlanta and Seattle and interviews with two teenagers and an adult who live with the disease.
