I had 7 nights straight of nocturnal events which I assume were partial seizures but were of an atypical type for me. Contacted the nurse after the 6th night to report this but no return call (turned out she was sick but her voicemail didn't say this). Called again after the 7th night and still no return call by noon, so went to emergency. I was absolutely fine when I went, and felt a bit funny going because of that. All I wanted to do was speak with my Dr., either by phone or brief appt. Out of desperation and frustration with not being able to get a hold of anyone I went to emergency and the seizure clinic was contacted to say I was there. The nurse consulted with my neuro., and then came over to ER to tell me what to do (increase med.). She said next time something like this happens and I can't get through to her, just go to ER. Huh?! All I wanted was for the nurse or doctor to call me back! Is this typical for everyone else here, too - where you are to go to ER in non-emergency situations just because you can't get a return phone-call?
