Please keep up the great work! The comments towards the end of the video struck a chord with me: Parents “ … their physician … and been told - there’s no hope … this little one isn’t going to walk or talk or even sit upright, so just love them and really don’t have any expectations. And they leave here like, oh my gosh - I had no idea there was that potential in (outcome for) this little one, and that happens every day. … “ I love stories where positive outcomes are emphasized. Most efforts need to "stay in the black", so to speak, but beyond that, I applaud those who prioritize outcomes over profitability and self-importance. We live with a medical system that often does the minimum (or a little more than) necessary to move people us through the system. Medical staff often have (or are perceived to have) knowledge that the average patient can use. The approach in so many professions in this country is “I am the expert. Take this or do what I say. Call me when you need me” rather than partnering with people to discover the union of what the client / patient knows, and the experience / knowledge / skill the practitioner has. The root of this behavior is generally selfishness, conscious or unconscious - the idea that sharing experience / information / knowledge: • makes it more likely that people can better care for their own needs (reducing the amount of available work) • takes time … and we all know that time is money, even if the result is a degraded outcome for the customer • lessens reverence the customer might have for the practitioner or reduces their influence (knowledge is power)
A professional telling you that your child has no hope is not supposed to be in the child profession in any capacity. File a complaint with the highest person in the organization they work for and seek a resolution to what you are looking for or go to a new place altogether with questions for your little one. All children have hope, even when they go to the foster care system. This is coming from a professional in the behavioral health field.
@@cartergomez5390 I generally agree, but I think the intent of the no-hope comment (as I heard it) is no hope of doing a particular activity or fully recovering from x conditions. As a parent of two, I pick my battles and would likely do what these parents have done: seek another opinion/option/etc. My focus is on getting the best outcome for my family. Of course, I would escalate a complaint if I felt the provider was doing the minimum before getting to that conclusion, but I think the point they were trying to make is that they push further than most to get a good outcome for the kids under their care.
