Joyce St. Claire

Severe, diffuse body pain, initially flagged by EMS as 'drug-seeking behavior'.

Patient is an adult female with a known history of Sickle Cell Disease who was forcibly removed from a city bus and brought to the ED by EMS and police for 'disrupting and disturbing passengers.' Prehospital personnel labeled her as 'combative' and 'drug-seeking' because she was screaming for narcotics and possessed an empty Percocet bottle filled 5 days prior. Upon arrival, the patient was physically struggling with staff, stating her home medications were not working and that she was experiencing a severe vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis.
