No, it would be me. I'm referred by another physician, the family physician. That person directly comes to me. My job is to spend about an hour to an hour and a half with your daughter. I do a very detailed history, medical assessment and examination, and we discuss some of the features we've identified of her concussion, which could be sleep issues, migraine, visual issues or vestibular issues. It could be mood exacerbations or other things, but this is all individualized.
Depending what I see, within my team under my roof, I have an occupational therapist with a Ph.D. in cognitive rehab and I am then referring to her care, and she's going to do a more detailed school assessment and provide some of that education. I also have an athletic therapist in my clinic who will help with some of the exercise piece if I feel that we need to put your daughter through some treadmill testing, some of our testing that we can do in-house under a supervised program. I have physical therapists in my clinic who work with neck and jaw and have competency-based training in vestibular rehab. If that's what's needed, I can refer to that individual.
The thing that's different and unique about our clinic is that this is a medically supervised clinic. I'm there first and foremost seeing your daughter. I will also be overseeing the rehabilitation under my centre, and I'll also be the one clearing your daughter back to sport, making decisions about return to school and providing the documentation they need when those decisions are made. The difference in our clinic is that I would be seeing your daughter all the way through and I would be the one ultimately discharging her and communicating back everything that has been done for your daughter to the physician who referred.
