Lizzie, I'm 51 years old. It's not ageism, it's experience. And Tyson is a guy, so it's probably different. Older men often do NOT treat women well in the medical setting, for the most part. I take offense at doctors who do not look at a situation objectively just because I'm a woman. And I know that any doctor can order a test but neurologists aren't qualified to analyze those tests fully. It's like spinning wheels. I wouldn't want to see two doctors for one problem, just my opinion. It wastes time and money. But if Tyson is comfortable (sorry, 3rd person again) with it, it's his choice. I'm glad you have a doctor you can trust. I have lots too, as we've talked about before. The problem here is that I'm ultra concerned about his situation and what could be being missed.
