We need to interact with children personally. While the diagnosis may be easy to establish, even virtually, we should not lose sight of the human aspect of medicine in our dealings with parents when explaining a diagnosis and the serious consequences thereof. That's my concern about all of this.
As for the frequency of follow‑ups, we need to take stock of the patients' circumstances, evaluate them at regular intervals, and schedule appointments between follow‑ups. Frequent follow‑ups are required for proper adjustments to be made. While it's easy to communicate a serious diagnosis virtually, it must not be forgotten that human contact, proximity and hearing from the parents in person are all extremely important and always will be.
