Case Files 19: Rady Children's Part 3

And again, as a physician, I was thinking through this. If physical therapy evaluations are saying a child has the ability to walk and therefore we are working on them with that, We tend to opt for the least invasive and using maybe the other one as a backup or something like if it is needed, this can be a bit of a gray area.

If you send someone home with a walker or a wheelchair, it is very easy for that to become what they need and what they use. So often we put kind of timelines on things like, We will send you home with this, but you follow up in this long. And then we'll kind of keep reassessing whether this need continues. The hard part is you can buy these things on Amazon now or anywhere.

So even if we don't order a wheelchair, they can still get a wheelchair. So again, this is a slippery slope that as a physician, I can read my own way based on my own experience. But this question of the appropriate wheelchair is, Is was it the physicians thought one thing was appropriate and the family thought another? Is that grounds for, you know, a lawsuit?

Or is that discrimination based on the disability? I think these counts all just kind of keep bringing up these things. And I did look up in Ehlers-Danlos. at least from the data we have, it is a small percentage of people with Ehlers-Danlos and usually on an as-needed basis that a wheelchair is needed. So you're going to spend the day at Disney.

Maybe that may be a long day and you may need the wheelchair. So it's that as-needed basis and then still a very small percentage. So I don't know what your thoughts are.

You know, it's kind of the reading between the lines. But I think also I've thought about the whole discrepancy in health care where, you know, a family can take up a GoFundMe to get the fancier, more motorized wheelchair. But I have children on.

You know, the CMS plan, which is like Children's Medical Services for complex children, children who live in, you know, maybe nursing facilities and things like that, who can't even get the very basic wheelchair, who need it. And so I do start to think bigger picture with some of this stuff that it is sometimes, like I said, ordering it on Amazon or taking up a fund for something.
