What could doctors do better for people with epilepsy?

@laura1961 Truth is upper echelon had to many complaints about his beside manner and attitude. He let his patients know what they were up against and fought for the underdogs. I'm sure there was probably another reason he was let go, but he cared and gave his all, cut backs or whatever they should have figured out a way of keeping him. they lost a good doctor, his waiting room was always booked and now hardly any patients last visit to their office for neurology .its like his replacement , i like him but also wonder why they cut there team by loosing a great doctor.

Hi Randall!
Thank you so much for sharing this experience.
I also really appreciate when my doctor tells me with sincerity and kindness what I'm facing. Thankfully, I now have a doctor who treats me as a partner and is patient about explaining my exam results, answering my questions, and addressing my fears. But it hasn't always been like that with other doctors I've encountered on my epilepsy journey. The effort to find a doctor who truly treats me as an individual was more than worth it!
I've noticed something interesting when talking with fellow epilepsy patients— the majority know what kind of seizures they have, but not always what type of epilepsy they've been diagnosed with. I wonder if doctors aren't explaining this distinction between seizure and epilepsy type, or if the epilepsy diagnosis simply hasn't been shared?
