What I said, those three things, are all he did. As quick as he could.
Really.
Did not ask me anything. He has no idea if the thumb was double, went double, didn't care. Nor the follow-the-finger.
Would not let me talk to tell him about anything. Would not let me ask anything. Lectured us (my husband was there witnessing this) on how it wasn't really relevant or important to put a label on things (as in conditions/diseases).

Really. He decided I didn't have MG based on watch my thumb come at your nose, watch my finger move, and icing one eye, while both were closed, resting, then seeing if they were different when opened. That's all.
I had to shift and bend over in the chair to prop my arm that was holding the ice pack because it got too weak to hold up to my face for those two minutes, but that was of no consequence to him.

This was the neuro-ophthalmologist chosen by the super-specialist neurologist at Yale New Haven for me to go to. In fact, he insisted I had to, as my regular ophthalmologist "couldn't posssssibly be treating me correctly." (emphasis on the posssss-ibly. Husband was there to witness that, too.) Neuro-op had nothing to add or even comment on regarding my op's treatment. I asked.

Whole day was a total waste of time. And about $100 for gas, parking, and food on the way.

There will be no one spending time on me. There will be no kindness. I get all the lazy and crazy ones.

Good news is, the state Office of the Health Advocate will be appealing my insurance's denial of the MuSK test for me, since neither neurologist's office would do it or even cooperate in providing information for me to do it. It will take 2-3 months or more, but at least it's getting done. Or attempted.
