I felt good about the discussion, however just handing a pamphlet for the explanation Is limited. My perception Is doctors don't like the google patient diagnosis, however If they don't want to explain the pamphlet they are supporting the self diagnosis method. Again I'm grateful for the explanation, and in this time I didn't feel this to be as much of the case- however upon looking at the pamphlet it did generate questions after the fact.

The handouts given insufficiency explained SRS radiation. As I knew virtually nothing on the subject, excellent, carefully selected medical articles would have been of great benefit. Because I was so ill informed, I didn't know what questions to ask. Doctors grow wary of patients running to the internet, but we're left little choice when we're not receiving the information we need from our providers.Forturnatly, Dr. Gurgel did everything he could to rectify this in my case.

Dr. Gurgel said he would get back to me the next day concerning an alternative to my planned surgery. That was two days ago. This is indicative of how communication has occurred during the past 3+ months with the U and my impending brain surgery. It has added to an already difficult situation. This has been an unimaginably difficult experience.

I was thoroughly Impressed by Dr. Gurgel's willingness to take the time needed to address my concerns. The procedure I'm having done Is serious and lengthy. It Involves brain surgery and the doctor took the time to discuss all of the pros and cons of the procedure. He treated me with dignity and compassion. Even If my questions were routine for him he treated them as Important to me and complimented me on asking the questions. I'm sure he took longer than the allotted time to reassure me of the outcome. He struck me as a very humble yet confident doctor who respected me as an individual patient and not just a medical issue that he would be working on.

Was disappointed that didn't review my first MRI done about 5 years ago to compare it with the recent one so could have had a better plan of action at that in person meeting. Guess I was assuming too much that when I released any earlier tests, that would have been part of the review.
