Napalm vis-à-vis anger management!

[OperaMBA]

Okay, all things being equal, I've been fairly patient with my lack of progress with my medical situation up until this point!

Today, however, I am become quite incendiary regarding my current neuromoron N3, and his "standard of care!

I was looking back through my MRI films on CD and the reports on which he was baseing his lack of a diagnosis.

Strike 1: When I told him that my complained about my MRI's not having contrast, he replied "oh, but they did"...   I confirmed that the one that I had in January did have contrast, but he undoubtedly didn't look at the films since they only covered about half the brain (the parts that encompassed the ears and just enough to cover the brain stem).   He also had neglected to tell me about the report that stated several pinpoint hyperintensities on the cerebellum.

Stike 2: My MRI's that were without contrast that were ordered by my PCP in Sept. also did not even look at the cervical spine AT ALL!   I missed this looking at it the first time because I was so intent on what the brain showed!

How can a neurologist make a call on this with this huge gap in the scans?

He obviously can't!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, when you get REALLY mad . . . you can drop an "A-bomb" :)

[OperaMBA]

Yeah, napalm is petroleum jelly that was used as a bomb...

That was about how mad I was.   I almost spontaneously combusted!

[risnerrose]

HaHa . . . I've learned something new, that has nothing to do with MS.  For - like all my life - I've thought people were saying "Drop an A-bomb" (short for atomic bomb).  I had no idea??????

I vote for napalm, or a least a really good voodoo spell.

Rena,

He is somewhat Lilliputian in stature, so he would probably just DUCK!

I would like to know when these bloody neurologists are going to be taken to task for their inability to complete their jobs in a satisfactory manner!  I know that in my job I always have someone looking over my shoulder to ensure I do a good job...who is looking over these neuro's shoulders because it seems to be becoming an epidemic this lack of proper diagnosing skills or the intelligence to at least try to screw us without getting caught!!  I say you should send a copy of this to the board that governs your neurologists and have him taken to the wall for this one and just see how long it take for him to worm his way out of it!
