It is necessary to accede to the infinite complexity of factors that impart viscosity to sickle cell blood, as Lewis F. Richardson did.

Abstract

Much as Lewis F. Richardson[1][1] embraced Jonathan Swift's metaphorical use of smaller and smaller fleas to represent the infinite in his modeling of rheologic disturbance——we now must accede to the infinite complexity of factors that impart viscosity to sickle cell blood. Big whorls have
