Feeling frustrated
Went to my first neurologist ever and finally got my notes back. Half of the stuff he wrote in the note was completely wrong - the way he described what I was feeling, saying that I had taken opiates in the past when I never have, said I had equal and reactive pupils when he didn’t even look at them, and that is just the beginning. I am so frustrated and I feel as if I wasn’t taken seriously. I am going to find someone else, if he is willing to lie on paper then is not looking out for my best interest. I will also be calling the office and complaining, along with getting the records changed to be correct. I am supposed to have 3 more appointments there (a sleep study, an EMG, and a carotid US) and I don’t even want to go now, but I know those results would help my next doctor. Frustrated isn’t even the right word, more like infuriated and insulted. 🥲
My first neuro was an absolute jerk. Always left his office in worse shape than when I went in. Seemed like he was looking for a fight, especially if I had a question to clarify something. He wanted doormats that would bow to his authority. He wasn't an MS Specialist. I would try to find a neurologist that specializes in MS, and has good reviews. If his notes are that inaccurate, why would you trust the results of any future tests from him?
Do your research prior to going to any doctor.I thought I did when I moved to a different state and when I tell you I would have been better off going to an veterinarian I’m not telling you a lie.i moved back to my home state and went right back to my neurologist who specializes in ms and other neurological issues.research ms specialist in your area,if they take your insurance,how long they been in business and what people say about them.good luck 🍀
