The Neurologist Consultant in Outpatients did not appear to have read my medical notes before hand. They seemed more interested in the patient after me. Not letting me answer the first question before moving on to the second question. Not taking into consideration any of the ECG results from A&E. Rushing the appointment because it was only a 15 minute slot. Didn't appear to know what medication they had put me on.
The resistance test left a lot to be desired (I think my dog probably has more resistance in his jaw) so a pointless exercise. Asking random questions that would have been on my 29 year old medical file. My mum asked if I needed to be seen again for a follow up appointment. The response was if I wanted to be seen again, before passing the buck on to cardiologist even before receiving my EEG results! Because it might be something up with my heart , bearing in mind I have had many ECG tests.
It seems another pointless exercise and a waste of time (if they are unwilling to take note of them), then requesting a blood test to measure my lametrigne levels after being on them for 2 weeks, only to turn around and say that those results wouldn't have made a difference.
