Dr. Wechsler MD, MSCI

One of the challenges I find with patients, actually, and especially taking care of kids is really understanding what’s actually going on with them. And we talked about before the idea of Talk Back, the idea that I hear something and I repeat it back, and I actually do that a lot with symptoms because I think it can be very challenging to communicate what’s going on with you or make sure that there’s a clear understanding of the disease.
