Hi Roy,
Thanks for the update. I'm sorry to hear you went through this!
I don't know that this was necessarily prejudice against your epilepsy specifically — last-minute schedule changes can happen in medical practices for all kinds of reasons, and the doctor did give you a direct explanation when you asked.
But even so, I still feel there was a real lack of care here, given the timing of your seizure medications. In my opinion, any change like that should be checked with the doctor who treats your epilepsy before the exam time is altered.
I'm not sure I understood you correctly — did you end up going through with the colonoscopy at the changed time?
