+> — Alexander Tvardovsky, editor of *Novy Mir*.
+Foreward to *One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich* by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. 1963.
+
+On the night of December 2nd, 2018, I was too angry to sleep.
+I'm not easy to ruffle
+(one of my cofellows dubbed me "Beau 'Cool-as-a-Cucumber' Hilton" -
+I have many faults, but easy ruffleability is not among them),
+and I have narcolepsy,
+so I can count the number of nights I've spent both angry and sleepless on a single finger.
+
+That afternoon I was reflecting on the plenary session
+given by Dr Leon Tshilolo
+at the American Society of Hematology 60th Annual Meeting,
+where he presented data on the use of hydroxyurea
+in sickle cell disease
+in Africa.
+It was a beautiful talk,
+a major advance in the field of hematology,
+and a wakeup call.
+
+Hydroxyurea is an inexpensive drug that makes a huge difference
+for many folks with sickle cell disease,
+and has been used for decades.
+The majority of people with sickle cell disease live in Sub-Saharan Africa.
+(The paper that accompanied Dr Tshilolo's talk,
+which was published in The New England Journal of Medicine
+roughly one month later,
+began with the characteristically understated:
+"Hydroxyurea is an effective treatment for sickle cell anemia,
+but few studies have been conducted in sub-Saharan Africa,
+where the burden is greatest.")
+This study deserved to be the plenary session.
+Unlike ever-more-expensive targeted therapies
+that benefit a few with rare diseases
+(I do not disparage these drugs, far from it,
+but the contrast is poignant),
+this is a cheap therapy that can benefit millions.
+Recognizing the incredible scientific,
+political, and financial maneuvering
+that led to this study and its positive outcomes,
+as the day went on my initial elation
+turned to depression,
+then to anger.
+That this study happened at all is a triumph,
+that it took this long to happen is a tragedy.
+
+So I sat in my hotel room,
+furious,
+imagining,
+lost.
+
+I was trained as an anthropologist
+and activist
+at the same time I was trained as a scientist,
+and here was a disturbing revelation
+that seemed to fit squarely in my Venn Diagram,
+but what I could do about it,
+how I could make a difference,
+how I could even know where to start,
+escaped me.
+Eventually the sun surprised me,
+and the next day took me
+(thankfully,
+there were some less-electrifying talks
+to sleep through later that day).
