I just came back from my appointment with Dr. Samineh Khosrowshahi and i left massively disappointed with her treatment plan and discussion i had with her.
I explained my symptoms to her and she informed me that a neurologist only treats seizure disorders not pain disorders or other symptoms. I felt as if my other symptoms were completely unrelated to anything neurological. When my other doctors tell me the problems are in neurological field that i am having not theirs. This left me horribly frustrated. Who do i believe 5 other doctors a single doctor. And top that off she tried to order a MRI which my records show that i can not have a MRI. neurosurgeon Dr. beliber 23 years ago said for me to never be exposed to magnetism meaning no MRI, my mother was there at the time he said this.
When the discussion of what i want done or what to do. I said proper diagnosis to find the root of all my neurological symptoms as per the other doctors have told me is the problems. this meet with resistance. And i got asked again by Dr. Khosroshahi do you want pills and of course i said no i would like a known diagnosis and proper treatment. i got told i have seizures and systemic pain disorder. and she said earlier she does not treat pain!
And insult to injury is the fact that she asked why i want this treated so badly i said. i Said i wanted to be able to work some kind of job or go back to college either online or to a real university. She told me i am disabled i can not work at all or lose my disability. i had to inform her of the ADA and ADA back to work ACT and the ADA IRA plans for the disabled. Told me i could lose my disability i informed her i would not. And again asked me why do i want to go back to work or college and risk it i said. going to work and college give a person a sense of purpose in life. And makes life more enjoyable. Explained to her that I began working for 3 years after my aneurysm rupture for a center for independent living for 3 years but started to have weird symptoms. which got to point i needed a neurologist again after Dr. Nino retired. And went to her. But she didn’t get it and threw me into complete frustration with her.
I told her if i was going to be talked down to like this and she was unwilling to find the appropriate diagnosis and treatments so that i could go back to college or try to work again. i would find a new neurologist. She said fine. I said ok i’ll be writing to DHS, congress persons, Illinois Medical board, and a great many agencies and possible news media and informing rest of my doctors her decisions with me and i have left her and why as explained in above.
This is unfortunate. as my neurosurgeon Dr. beliber 23 years ago saved my life at carle hospital from a ruptured intracranial brain aneurysm.

Perhaps it is her command of the english language or understanding of american laws or views of the disabled, i do not know anymore after suffering after years of her treatments and going toxic on my medications several times under her.
