I'm not saying that any Neurologist is making a "life threatening" descision, what I'm saying is they can analyze an EKG, and can make a referral afterwards. This is how the medical world works.
And Neurologists do work with heart patient all the time. Especially after Strokes, and Heart Attacks!
They also have to know the heart for things like POTS! Dysautonomia! And I should take that back about the "life threatening" decisions, as Neurologist have to when dealing with Dysautonomia, or POTS!
If you are a medical person as you claim, you'd know this!
I'm concerned that this young man is getting the impression that he should Not listen to His Doctor. A Doctor who is a specialist with MG. He shouldn't be told not to trust His doctors opinions.
If his Neurologist wants to order an EKG, then he should be trusted to do so, and the referral if something is wrong! Period!
I don't know about your practice, but most doctors, order tests, and then send a referral. Based on the out come of those tests!
Also, many doctors write out an order for an EKG, and they're done in the hospital, and those EKG's are read at the Hospital, and then the results are sent to the doctors office. Again, if you are a medical person as you claim, you'd know this as well!
Tyson, please listen to your doctor! I'm begging you to listen to your doctor, and understand that people on the internet, are just that, people on the internet. They should never , and I do mean Never try to diagnose you, or take the place of your doctor, who knows you, and your results from personally examining you. They should NEVER EVER be the one you go to for your health! Please listen to your doctor, the person you can see, and a degree you can see. People on the internet, are just that People who you don't know. This is way too serious of a situation to Not listen to your doctor.
This whole thing has caused me great concern for this young mans health! He is New to all this!
