I'm thinking about filing a grievance against my (so-called) neuro. Does any one have any suggestions as to how I would go about this or who I would contact? Any info or suggestions would be wonderful. Thank you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Get a copy of all your medical records - which you will have to pay for. You may be surprised what is in there. Once you have that, you can find out which way to go.
Keep me updated.

Basically it says that some docs don't like well informed patients.
i am concerned about your health & wasting valuable time with this neuro. can your primary care give you a referal to a different neuro? do you have a copy of your mri report and films ? you can get them from the testing facility. if the report shows the tumor then your primary care may be able to schedule the cat scan.
you can still file a grievance but that way you are still moving forward for your health.
i had a issue with a dr. years ago..grin.. it was not pleasant...he was rude...crass...and insulting... for me to take someone like that takes alot...so i left there and called the board...they told me how to go about filing a formal complaint and i did so gladly...grin.. i had taken a girlfriend with me to the dr.s appt. so she also filed a letter with mine to back me up... we received a letter back stating that ours was not the only letter (complaint ) received concerning this so called dr. and he had .had his license suspended...
if you feel that your neuro has not done his/her job and put you in jepordary or has treated you in a non-professional way... report them....
good luck hon..and stick to your guns and intincts on this one....just think about the next patient she will treat who may not know as much as you do....

Your time and energy is better spent finding a good neuro, getting the right diagnosis, and the best treatment. Look after yourself first. Maybe the good neuro will have a better idea of how to deal with your current doc, or maybe the new doc could help thru peer networks that are not available to the public.
