I have now allowed a timelapse for that foriegn "neurologist" to make a follow up appointment. ---No such appointment has been made...

When I first saw this "neurologist" I was amazed at the speed he went through the motions of an examination. Since the transfer from wheelchair to examinatuion couch had caused my front thigh muscles to go into painful spasm, I expected him to wait until I was back in control of those muscles --but no-- he grasped both my ankles in his huge hand and continued his examination. When he quickly scratched the soles of my feet he wasnt even looking at my feet so could not have seen my toes on the right foot spreading -indicating possible cerebellar problems.

I wrote to my GP complaining about this man and I enclosed the history I had presented. I told my GP that this man had in fact read my history but I doubted very much if he understood what he was reading. Also I told my GP that this "neurologist" had told me that my sterno-cleido-mastoid atrophy was due to old age, and that I should forget the past. Since he had made no examination of my paraspinal muscles, it convinced me that this man was a fake foreign doctor.

The records I presented stated that I was aware that none of the Doctors I had seen knew about the cerebellar toxicity of antiepileptic drugs -- or ataxia- or anticonvulsant hypocalcaemia. Hence the undiagnosed cerebellar/brainstem dysfunction or the undiagnosed truncal ataxia or the misdiagnosed osteoporosis in those hospital records.

The hospitals involved were the Leeds General Infirmary and Pinderfields hospital. Both of these hospitals treat epileptic patients, and both of these hospitals claim to monitor the patients' drug regimes. Experience has shown me that they only monitor the drug levels in the patient in line with the manufacturers instructions. Experience has also shown me that both of these hospitals do not monitor the condition of the patients and the effects of toxicity on the patients. It is pure ignorance that is the problem. Doctors who do not know --or even care- what effect those powerful drugs are having on their patients

This can only be described as criminal negligence
