Re: Dealing with medical professionals?

Granted, I hadn't told him that I've had organic brain damage since birth, so that was absolutely on me

why though? that seems like one of the first things I'd mention to a neurologist

OP again

Several reasons, primary among which was that upon my first visit, I hadn't realized it was something that would have played a factor in producing seizures. (Related to this, my adoptive parents had not told me the severity of the extent of my brain damage until I told them about my adult seizures. Apparently I had had seizures as an infant, but they were never disclosed to a health professional. Trust me, on my second visit, I told them everything I learned since my first visit.)

Second, and what kept me from going back for more prompt treatment, was that I was in the middle of a job interviewing process, the job being one that excluded people with seizure disorders. Once I was resigned to the fact that the disorder wasn't going to resolve itself spontaneously, I gave up and went to a doctor. Sounds stupid, I know.
