Okay, I'm not sure if I can do this, but, I'm gonna try. I'm sure no one can help here, other than moral support, plus, letting me get something off my chest.
Here goes. My wife has MS, which is no fun. A year and a half ago, she started having seizures, which were not controlled by regular seizure medications. She's been in a big city hospital for two weeks, last year to get all the usual tests done and get the seizures under control. Everything came back normal. Did one more extra test, result was..... that my wife does't need a neurologist, she needs a physciatrist, ( she does, but that's because she's married to me :) ). Neurologist signs off on my wife's case. Since then, seizures are increasing in frequency. Family Doctor, who is a very good man, is now in charge of my wife's care. He tries to get a %%^^ physciatrist, but, we're still waiting. We've been in and out of our local hospital several times, they know us by name, and a couple of the Doctors are sure my wife has a type of seizure that is very difficult to find, but, there are only two Doctors in Ontario who treat them and one is retiring and the other is too busy. Meanwhile, my wife is basically bedridden in serious pain, and fear, not knowing when the next seizure will happen.
Whatever happened to Doctors who want to heal people, all people, and not just the easy , here, take a pill fix?
Thanks.
