I’m still in the beginning stages of this condition (bilateral ATN), and after three months have finally secured an appointment with a neurologist. So far, my general impression of the medical community is that they simply “practice” medicine and collect hefty fees. I’m interested in anyone’s thoughts on how to screen a doctor to see if their expertise fits my condition. PS-I live in a part of the US where being direct with people is, shall we say, frowned upon. Thanks for any input you can provide.
I would always ask of neurologist/neurosurgeon -- how many TN patients do you see per month
That is the golden ticket --- Next.......
keep learning and asking!
If they do have a few per month -- learn allllll you can here - so you can pick the treatment course - it's your face and your $$$
