Guest guest Posted May 24, 2002 Report Share Posted May 24, 2002 Bill, The point I was trying to make was that most neurologists are supposedly brainy people, who usually are very short on people skills, and sometimes on brain skills as well. Sorry if I hurt any neuro's feelings. This comes, as I said, from a lifetime experience dealing with neurologists as a colleague, as a patient, and as a patient advocate. I won't go into details. I was commiserating with who said that one neurologist said that he could diagnose her husband if they would let him do an autopsy. What kind of creep would say that? It's best to stick with the medical centers who have some reputation in the MSA diagnosis field. Some local neurologists have no inkling of MSA and, if they have a patient, don't even bother to come up to speed on the latest medical treatment. On the other hand, some non-neurologists we have met are great, such as an ER doctor in Northern Wisconsin who knew what was going on when my husband had a mental blackout. Sorry, but sour on docs.
