Young professionals tend to be more up to date and modern in their thinking and knowledge. Seek them out. There is also a vision test I took that indicated damage to 3 different parts of my brain, and when I confronted another doctor on the results, he said "oh yeah, that is organic damage we cant see" So I basically made him admit negative mri was wrong.
We have to advocate so hard for ourselves because I have no intention of living the rest of my life feeling like I do right now.
