Re: Re: Follow-Up On My Friend's Neurologist Appointment

[Guest guest]

Ive had a neuro do similar things. He was a jerk anways, im not the

only one hes given problems.

I was admited to te hospital last year for migraine treatment(before

we knew there was mold in our house), when the treatment didnt work,

and not only didnt work but gave me a spasm in my corinary artery and

almost put me into cardiac arrest(i got to experience what a heart

attack feels like.. I dont wish it on anyone. Not as painful as my

headaches however scarey as all get out!), he terminated my consult,

changed my diagnosis to 'mild' and told me that he doesnt think i

even have headaches that ive made it all up, and is now still

canceling any referalls to neurology that my PCM puts in, on the

basis that 'patient has seen multiple neuros with no change in

condition'.. so hes just gonna ignore me. (and the reason id seen

'multiple' neuros, is because my FIRST neuro, who was actually NICE,

got transfered to Germany.. thats the sucky thing about military

doctors they always move!!)

And take it from me - i have bipolar, and i have health problems from

the mold.. and the only connection i could see is getting MORE

depressed because im always so sick! Not being sick because im so

depressed. Its the doctors cop-out. Something easy for him to blame

her concerns on, and push her out the door. She doesnt need a

psychiatrist she needs a good neuro, and to find a way to take care

of cause of the problem(dont know what your friends situation is)

Someone on the board recently filed suit against

a doctor for negligence for this sort of 'it's

all in your head' behavior. Let's hope we start

winning some of those cases as this is

preposterous.
