I want to be sure anyone checking my daughter's chart understands that she has Down syndrome. She will not tell you she needs pain medication. She needs to be with someone she knows and trusts if she is alone. She is a wonderful human being, deserving of respect. Dr McDonnell and her other CC doctors understand that.
