Chris Hirthe Review of Froedtert Health

Don t get me wrong, the care and treatment I received at Froedtert was great. It s been what has ensued after that has made me leave this rating. I recently went for an EEG because I was experiencing seizure like symptoms. Not full blown grand mal seizures that people usually associate with seizures, but partial seizures which are very minor and more of an annoyance than a life altering condition. Because of these symptoms, my primary care doctor (not at Froedtert) decided to suspend my drivers license until I received medication for my seizures. Wisconsin has a 90 day suspension rule for people with seizures, and mine were happening almost daily. I went to Froedtert, and one of the doctors (Dr Chris Anderson) told me that the 90 day rule wouldn t apply to me because I don t lose consciousness and I have control in my body to correct my driving. Exited by this news, I scheduled an appointment with my primary care doctor to sign paper work to reinstate my drivers license. When I got there, the doctor from Froedtert had left no note saying I would be eligible for a license effective immediately. My primary care doctor refused to sign the paperwork and instead told me to call Dr Anderson/Froedtert to get the situation figured out. Once I called, I was told that Dr Anderson wouldn t be able to sign any paperwork, because I was not a patient of his. He oversaw my EEG, but apparently that was not enough. So now I m stuck with no drivers license, and a primary care doctor who s unwilling to sign because a doctor at Froedtert didn t put a note in saying he believed it was ok for me to drive.
