Rare blood condition likely to keep Steelers S out - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN
This is why I do the research that I do. This football player just has sickle trait, and still almost died due to his condition. Sickle is rare here in the US, but thousands are affected by this in Africa and SE Asia, and do not have the medical resources that we do here.
I am glad that this is getting a little attention. Please support medical research folks, it makes a difference.
