Clinical philosophy
Families often feel trapped between fear of delay and fear of overtreatment. My role is to translate complex information into a practical judgment: what can be observed, what needs further testing, and when the benefit of surgery outweighs the risk.
Do not rush toward surgery, but do not ignore warning signs that cannot wait. Honest explanation, shared decisions and functional recovery come first.
