My daughter has an intellectual disability, and in the past I have found some of the ER doctors she saw were not very understanding or knowledgeable in treating her (I was not the only parent that felt this way).
Yesterday, due to being unable to see her own doctor after her having a fall, I had to go to GRH.
I did this with some real concerns and worry going on past experiences.
The doctor she saw, Dr Alan was amazing, extremely patient, and because her language skills are not great he examined her from head to toe.
He explored every possibility of injury and made her and me feel very comfortable and most importantly, to me, treated her as a valued person worth him spending his very busy time investigating what was wrong.
So thanks to this great doctor; I am happy that GRH now have doctors that see all people as important and equal. You have given me faith in the ER again.
