Neurological History and Examination | Doctor

Taking a detailed history and performing a careful examination can help the doctor to determine the site of a specific neurological lesion and reach a diagnosis, or at least differential diagnoses. A systematic approach is required.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original article at https://patient.info/doctor/history-examination/neurological-history-and-examination

What do you do when you know a Neurologist has failed to carry out proper checks of your health in a NHS or private setting? When they failed to follow every procedure by taking short cuts in your exam, that make no sense in medical contradictions. They used a video to perform their test for a report, that has left me with continued neurological symptoms after a accident? When they made references to how a vehicle has moved and not the damage to my brain from a third perspective view point, when not taking into the violent shake of a vehicle?

From my understanding in the NHS one shake is enough to cause brain trauma to anyone, leaving permanent damage that might not be seen by the naked eye and relying on what I say to form an opinion is wrong?. They never examined my medical files or MRI’s for themselves, is that clinically negligent work? it’s there job to check those files themselves for anything that might be missed? When clearly the later MRI taken after accident show mild cerebral atrophy. Even if you have already a neurological condition, surly they must be careful in diagnosis of injury unseen?

How can they base my damage done from a video I showed? They clearly are not inside vehicle at impact.

As a neurologist they not allowed to make any informed judgement on that as this is outside expertise on hidden trauma accidents cause to human bodies? What is classed as a low impact in anyone’s mind? 10 20 30 40 MPH? Any sudden violent movement is likely to cause long term trouble for a car occupant if you where not seated upright at moment of impact?

What can a Neurologist base a report on in vehicle accident when you have pre existing Neurological condition? Can they say it’s existing condition? anyone have similar experience of lies written about them, and how do you fight that? Report to BMA?

I think it is within their professional discretion to miss parts of the neurological assessment as some parts of the procedure are not indicated for.
