Rehearse this. Doctors want to be appreciated and like to know they have a direction to try to take their patient.
I wonder if you could be seen at the University of Nevada School of Medicine Clinic in Vegas to begin a study with some med-students/interns. I don't know if this is available but worth asking. Too bad the School of medicine is in Reno. That would be a worthwhile place to try. Teaching hospitals sometimes can assign a group of interns to work with you on a longer term.

Thanks...I'll try that next time. I've said something similar before...like, I know there is no magic brain injury pill...but I was wondering if there is anything you can do for me, as far as improving my recovery.
They don't seem to have any answers for me.
So, I shall continue my search for the perfect neurologist...or one that has successfully treated patients with a brain injury. One that actually cares...I'm sure I'll be looking for awhile
