I think part of the misunderstanding is caused by the varying state laws which regulate driving. I have epilepsy myself and some states (like mine) have a self-report system where it’s the patient’s job to report a seizure and quit driving immediately ( and seek treatment and do some other things). But other states make it the physician’s duty to report any patient who may be having a seizure, under penalty of loss of his/her medical license. My state adopted the self report system because it believed that patients would be more apt to seek medical treatment and get help if they didn’t have to worry about their doctors reporting them.

@methel I agree that self reporting probably works better. I live in Nevada.

I didn’t have seizures, but based on a 15 minute appointment with a few language mistakes on my part, I got zapped. The doctor guessed wrong. He kept his license and every year I have to prove again that I am not having seizures. Appointments with doctor plus paperwork for the DMV plus waiting in their lines once a year. Not a good state policy. What state are you in? Maybe I will move there.
