Part of the reasons I really liked my neurologist is (and he is leaving place I go - poop) is he is a very knowledgeable MS Specialist neurologist at a very reputable hospital and he never insisted on MRIs (which I believe only show progression IF in the see-able parts of brain - duh, like I don't already get symptoms?) and never (as I told him in my farewell e-mail) never acted like a petty god who had all the answers and there were answers out there. A once a year appointment was fine. In between he never ignored my e-mails and treated symptoms or referred me out for any problems. Good without copping an attitude. If you have to act like and tell people you're really good, you're not. It makes me sad to think he was an exception, not the rule in Neurologists. I expect to a degree the same in my next person. I need a doctor who knows he's a person and sees I'm one too. We don't have to be BFFs of course but must respect each other.

He never pretended he could cure MS and I respect him for that.
