She told me I'm different meaning(intractable)

[Belinda5000]

I made an appointment to see my neuro , and when I was talking to his secretary she said I'm different.intractable /refractory and she's known me for years.So what's she saying I'm suppose to give up? I've been with this guy 24 yrs next month.I've had surgery,VNS and way to many meds.I've tried a diet that and it's not good for me.

I see my neuro Monday and Iplan to ask him exactly what is next?:e:onder:

Hang in there. But I would definitely tell him what his secretary said. I bet your doctor doesn't expect or condone the receptionist giving opinions on your particular situation. It isn't her place to make any judgements about you or your prognosis/outlook. She isn't a physician although she has a lot of experience as a secretary in a neurologist's office. Sometimes a little bit of knowledge makes folks think they know more than they do.
Good luck on Monday!

If I deciced to go see an epileptologist at Emory he'd be behind me.
