In that you've docs or interns or undergrad students who've never heard of any or remember much of the neuro aspects of many problems we encounter. Therefore, you have to recite 'your story' in about 45 seconds! That's the extent of their attention span?
At times tho, with a good neuro and a curious staff? You get good questions asked of you that just mite help you.
I have to say that it really depends on the doc, the # of students in tow and how big or small the exam room is? When you've got five docs and YOU in a room? I don't know about you, but I begin to feel sort of 'outnumbered'?
Since I've had my neuropathy for several years now tho, I've learned how to keep it short and sweet and interesting. That last part-makes it personal and you bet these folks once they get into practice will remember YOU and your circumstances! That they don't forget YOU will help many others in the long run as well - so learn to be concise and accurate regarding all you've been tested for and where you are in the diagnosis process now.
BTW? Chotzey? How did it go today? I've got my fingers crossed [as best they can do] for you! 's -j
