by 'patients like this' do you mean children with MS? If so - children with MS usually see specialists such as neurologists, ortho docs, pediatric specialists in MS etc. MS children require special care because of their numerous medical anomalies...over half have seizure disorders, and almost all are on antispasmodic meds., and an array of other medications that require oversight. Physical Therapists are highly involved with these children. A pediatric specialist in MS would have nurses and medical assistants specially trained in the area of MS disease state. I am sure the state of California affords these children the very best of treatment. I can't imagine this child living long without his medications, treatment, and continuous assessment.
The Pediatric Specialists and specialty nurses in the arena of MS are dedicated, caring, empathic and extremely knowledgeable...I can't imagine Ross ever, ever, fitting in. mho
