Whose Who?
It is important to know, whose who in the medical team, that can help you and your child. This is a continuation from an earlier article.
Always, keep an open mind. Although, the professionals may know their job well, they may not know your child as well as you. That makes you the professional, where your child is concern. Be your child's advocate, speak for him. Have second opinions when needed, but I would advice you to follow your gut.
