When Prince was born, his parents were dismayed to learn that he had sickle cell disease. They later discovered that both of them carried the gene for this condition. Growing up with sickle cell, Prince experienced a lot of pain, often referred to as “pain crisis.” These episodes of pain were overwhelming for both Prince and his parents, who felt helpless.
On one occasion Prince was taken to Dreamland Mission Hospital because he was experiencing severe pain all over his body, indicating a pain crisis. The medical officer admitted him to manage the crisis. Prince’s mother expressed her satisfaction with the quality of care her son received from the hospital staff. She mentioned that they have learned a lot about the disease at Dreamland Hospital, including important tips for managing the condition and signs to watch out for. She also appreciated the readiness of the staff to assist at any time.
