I literally never knew from appointment to appointment what dose of meds he'd be on, because he "adjusted" them so much. I eventually pawned him off on the movement disorders clinic at one of the local medical schools. I suspect that he is still adjusting his meds to his own satisfaction, regardless of dose toxicity.<br /><br />And turn about is fair play. I am sure I'll get scolded on Thursday. :-)neurondochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12155027993661209263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914238121679939863.post-33032949366532096002010-02-20T12:06:30.159-05:002010-02-20T12:06:30.159-05:00Yeah, but the kind of knowledge isn't the same...Yeah, but the kind of knowledge isn't the same when it's your patients, unless you have doctors as neurology patients.
