I have a godson with autism, which is why I understand the unique challenges faced by families navigating healthcare systems. The anxiety of calling 911, and the fear of hospital environments - bright lights, unfamiliar rooms, numerous staff, and exposure to other patients - can be overwhelming for children with autism. This fear is a daily reality for over 1.5 million parents. At Tele911, we witness similar situations frequently. That's why I want to reassure every parent: when cases are of low acuity, we're here to be a comforting presence, guiding you through these challenging times and avoiding a hospital visit when calling 911. Here is a Tele911 cases from a pediatric autism patient: A 15-year-old boy with Autism Spectrum Disorder who tested positive for COVID-19. He experienced back pain, a sore throat, and understandably, was upset about missing school, which led to aggressive behavior. 👩⚕️ Our Approach: Our Tele911 physician prescribed Paxlovid 100mg, taken three times in the morning and evening for five days. This treatment plan was carefully designed considering the patient's unique needs. Impact and Feedback: The boy's mother rated her experience with our service as "10 out of 5 stars". She greatly appreciated the convenience of in-home medical care, which significantly reduced the stress for both her and her son. Furthermore, recognizing the broader needs of the family, we're actively assisting them in accessing resources for clothing, food, and rental assistance. At Tele911, we're more than just a medical service; we're a partner in your family's health journey, especially for those with special needs. Every day, we strive to make healthcare accessible, compassionate, and tailored to individual circumstances. #HealthcareInnovation #Telemedicine #AutismAwareness #PatientCare #Tele911Success
