results in an abnormality on the oxygen-carrying protein, hemoglobin
which is found on red blood
cells. As a result, red blood cells become rigid
and sickle shaped. Due to this disease, Miles has developed a number of
health problems such as brittle bones, swelling of hands and feet,
breathing problems and low iron levels in the blood. As a trumpet player,
Miles Davis had to cancel several concert dates due to broken wrists and
hips. What is the underlying cause of his injuries?
