The Neuro does not read the notes of the other docs and nurses, and vice versa. No one with comprehensive knowledge of all modalities. No "team" meetings regarding difficult cases. The NP has never met the neuro.
We are currently on a nationwide search for the very best, coordinated approach.... .
My thoughts and my prayers go out to you and your wife.
I think she is very, very fortunate to have you and your son on her team. I doubt that she could do better than the two of you...
