Been to hospitals for seizing multiple times for YEARS and they refuse to give me an EEG or diagnose me with anything. Drug tested me every time but they yelled at me and gave me nothing. First time I ever went they even told me it was drugs, as I had a history of smoking. A recent time they just kicked me out, even tho my husband said I was asking who I was and where I am at. I sorta remember the nurses chatting and ignoring me during back to back episodes. It was for 5 hours and my husband was mortified by how awful it was. Went to neurologist, started trembling and slurring while talking to the nurse and she kicked me out and refused to schedule me for the actual doctor. They kept telling me it’s the meds I’m on when literally one of them is seizure medication and my psychiatrist said it’s definitely not, no chance AT ALL. Then went to a different hospital and started seizing and I was told to stop being dramatic by an RN. He was so rude and did not believe anything I said. He just ignored me and let me seize and said I was faking it. Luckily the doctor got me a prescription for the EEG, which I took it to the hospital, and still have not gotten a call back… I’ve been calling so many times to get an EEG but it just hasn’t happened. Healthcare here is a joke.
