Review №1

My sister recently was hospitalized with what appeared to be seizures under the care of John Stern, MD, who has a wonderful reputation as a neurologist. She received a diagnosis of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures and due to the fact that he ruled out epilepsy- she was discharged and told to find a psychologist with expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with no referral over a weekend with only one contact with Dr. Stern who said very little. She was asked to read Lorna Myers book on the subject, published this year 2014. That was it! NO further consultations within the UCLA system with the expert in CBT who also had a background in neurophysiology, or psychiatrist......bad form.I realize UCLA is a teaching hospital. My husband went there for his residency program, so I am familiar with how the system works. I dont know Dr. Stern personally and he did make room in his busy schedule to see my sister, as all physicians should............Supervision of residents is key in practice in a university medical center...on this score- he blew it. Now she is home to fend for herself- still having seizure-like episodes, falling, anxious beyond belief , and putting herself back on her medication which was removed for the EEG- and no directions in sight beyond my efforts as her sister who lives in Minnesota............POOR DISCHARGE PLANNING- Shannon Schulz, retired BSN
