1 A perfect neuro will not always have definitive
answers. I understand that some diagnoses can
only be confirmed by autopsy. I'll decline that
procedure on myself at this time; maybe later.
2 Diagnosis of a rare condition is never easy. By
definition the technician may never have seen a
case personally. Would you have it be otherwise?
That is, would you have TM be comonplace just so
every doctor would have lots of experience with
it?
3 I don't think the technology is there to diagnose
the causality of a spinal cord disorder with the
tidy certainty of a heart condition.
4 I do tend to join in the criticism on the aspect
of recovery. I think their pessimism might
sometimes be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I do not intend this as a flaming of the critics. I,
too, would be upset if someone misdiagnosed my wife
or child. But I have now read enough about disorders
of the spinal cord to understand the fuzzyness.
