Transcript

00:00According to the journal, Taryn Quentin has been hospitalized five times in three months.

00:06I'm sorry, that is too many times.

00:08Even for a sickle cell patient, she is 26 years old.

00:11Her symptoms are presenting as sickle cell, but maybe that's a misdiagnosis.

00:15If hers was picked up on a newborn screening, methods back then were prehistoric.

00:19This could be hemoglobin SC disease.

00:22She has sickle cell.

00:23Taryn Quentin has sickle cell disease, in fact.

00:26Let me help.

00:31This is a rare case where an exclamation point is necessary.

00:35I looked up her peripheral smear today in the lab, and she has sickle cell.

00:40Okay, so opioids, fluids.

00:43The mystery here isn't what's wrong with Taryn Quentin, no.

00:46The mystery is why do we live in a world that could cure her, but won't.

00:51Because we do?

00:54And what do we do about that, aside from the obvious answer?

00:56There's an obvious answer?

00:58Of course there is. We have CRISPR.

00:59We can easily replicate a cure with a day of focused work.

01:03Honestly, we could beat it.

01:04Sorry, science cured sickle cell disease, and you are unimpressed.

01:09No, the science is impressive, but that's neither here nor there.

01:12We can't duplicate the cure, because of course that would be illegal.

01:16I don't think you need air quotes for that.

01:18We can proceed on three fronts.

01:21Make sure there's nothing else wrong with Taryn that's causing the escalation of her symptoms.

01:27Twins, you two supervise a high-performance liquid chromatography test.

01:31Monitor Taryn's recovery from this crisis.

01:34Decrease the frequency of the episodes so she's eligible for clinical trials.

01:39Dr. Darien, Dr. Lubick, that's on you.

01:41You can also look through her journal for more clues while you're at it.

01:44You held up two fingers.

01:46You said we'd proceed on three fronts. You held up two fingers.

01:50There's a cure for sickle cell.

01:53The science is mediocre. The cost is $3 million out of pocket.

01:57And it's the property of a lawyered-up monolith, but it does exist.

02:02Our patient will have it.
