ER visit for a one time random seizure. We were assigned to a brand new resident neurologist with absolutely no experience and I question his education. He forgot to write orders for the MRI and EEG that he "recommended" which meant many weeks of wait time to finally get those arranged. He misread the results of the MRI leading us to believe my husband had a rare brain tumor deep inside his brain and needed surgery ASAP. He told us this news like he was was reading a phone book. He admitted he had to "look up" the name of the cyst on the results of the MRI. Turns out, the cyst was nothing and any experienced doc would have know that. The seizure was most likely due to dehydration and not eating for 30 hours. Going through the ER at BMC and getting caught up in their "system" caused us more trauma and worry than the event itself. Very disorganized and the newbie docs are NOT supervised. They will ruin your life if you don't get a second opinion.
