I'm in the medical profession and it upset me to hear that you've been treated in such a manner by doctors and their staff. Unfortunately, some very
experienced and competent doctors have lousy "bedside manners". However, this is no excuse for the doctor to not have talked to you personally about the test results on your son.
I would not return to that neurologist, but I would seek another opinion.To back up what everyone else said - I have a friend, a young woman with Tourettes', who is very intelligent. She's tearing through her pre-med courses in college with flying colors. She has a boyfriend, a job and her own apartment, and she lives a full life.
Don't give up hope - there are good and caring doctors out there.
