Which practitioners would a child see if they were suffering from paralysis in a hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Usually a neurologist but it depends on the cause of the paralysis. If the think it is infectious they will see infectious disease. If they think it is psychological, they will see psych, etc.
