Sadly in our messed up medical system we all must advocate for our own care, play along when we must and fight when needed, dealing with the insurance craziness along the way.

You are a great advocate for your care, think of those who are not so well educated or perhaps don't speak the language trying to deal with these situations. That's what I always remind myself of when I'm banging my head against all the many walls of the
'system'. I do hope you can actually get a competent neurologist.
