Introduction
Patient/Medical Philosophy:
A multidisciplinary approach is used, providing medical treatment for the child's illness and also treating the social implications that the illness may have on the family. I know how important it is to listen to the patient and the family and be able to explain in a clear and concise manner the clinical situation, involving them in the decision- making process.
