Neurology Appt, R. 9/8/2023 Friday 9:38 PM
The doc told him his seizures "probably aren’t his brain but just in his head…" From anxiety.
Because he said sometimes his panic attacks are so bad …
Ugh.
Next appointment is in six months.
Useless.

The following was added on 9/9/2023 to give more info.
The technician who saw him put him back on Keppra, I think. The generic name starts with an L. We told him that medication worked a little the last time he used it, but not very well. He then said that if the seizures are "in his head and not in his brain" that this medication won't help very much.
So even though we said this medication wasn't very effective, he is going to take it as proof that this isn't "real" epilepsy, and try and refer R to a psychiatrist.
He didn't do anything to address the CURRENT issues R is having, the numbness, the head injury, the cognitive and memory issues, the fact that the Cardiology specialist told him he needed to see a neurologist for the low blood pressure and fainting for Vagas /Vagal nerve issues... that he likely has a compressed c3,c4,c5 nerve issue...
This is textbook medical gaslighting, and they aren't even treating him.
Six months until the next appointment, when he was treated like a "new patient" and the guy only asked questions about his medical history and did nothing to help with the current, pressing, SERIOUS NEUROLOGICAL ISSUES he's having now is 100% completely unacceptable.
