I think he came to you not for treatment, but just so he could call you all the time as a means of feeling like he is doing something about it, without actually doing anything about it. <br /><br />I know my dad is irritated by the patients that log every symptom, and present the logs, but it sounds like encouraging that would beat being called every 3-8 weeks about an ongoing condition he has no intention of treating.<br /><br />I think next time you can say something like. <br />"I have it on record that you have migraines every 3-8 weeks, that these migraines can be incapacitating, and that you consistently refuse treatment for these migraines. At this point I have an excellent picture of what is going on. We can touch base once a year from now on to review, or at any time if the symptoms become more frequent, or if you decide to begin treatment."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-9033741879597532672015-06-25T10:36:09.168-04:002015-06-25T10:36:09.168-04:00But how is the Senator, I mean other than the migr...But how is the Senator, I mean other than the migrainesPackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10790343423937405624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-70163269557357420612015-06-25T10:23:59.940-04:002015-06-25T10:23:59.940-04:00Your diagnosis may need to updated:
