The last time I saw the neurologist it was to get results of my brain scan. I had a follow up appointment today, and I left even less satisfied than the last time.
Let me rewind here. I'm not dissing neurologists, I think I just happened to come across a floozy.
I am in need of a second opinion on my cabeza matter: I had a follow up with the neurologist today and left with a prescription to something called "Dogmatil". He said it's an older drug, and I asked him why he came up with Dogmatil - to which he replied "experience".
Now that, in my book, is a wrong answer. The last time I saw him he wanted me to keep a journal, even though I told him I already did that to check off anything that could be related to the headaches and dizziness. He basically waved off any of my remarks with "I've seen some girls with head problems..." I found it very derogatory - and why is he comparing me to those "girls"?! Seems like with every visit my regards of him lowers more.
I didn't have a good feeling about the drug so I googled it, and it turns out the active ingredient is something called Sulpiride.
I've checked with several medical sites and what I read annoyed me: why is he giving me a drug that is mainly used to treat psychosis?!
What the heck was he thinking?!
