Should I expect follow-up on the neurologist's part or should I return to my family physician for follow-up?
After 2 seizures / hospitalizations within 2 months, then seeing a neurologist who prescribed dilantin and an EEG, I have had to take charge of my care.
Prior to the 3 day EEG, I called the doctor's asst. to ask if I should have blood work done. Then after no word on EEG results for two weeks, I played phone tag again with the asst. The pharmacist has had to call for refills two months in a row. What does a neurologist do?
What should I expect for follow-up care? Should I have periodic blood tests to check dilantin levels? Should I go back to my family physician for a refill prescription? What happens now?
