ode_to_fantasy Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 My wonderful doctor, Dr. Meador, is moving to Emory University (hospital) in Atlanta from here at the University of Florida and Shands in Gainesville, FL. I'm not sure what he's going to be doing there, but he's the first doctor I've ever had who took my Dysautonomia seriously (and because of him, others have started taking it seriously as well). He's a seizure specialist (Neuro), but I somehow got thrown into his group because someone thought that my constant NCS episodes were seizures. The first time I went to see him, and he saw my HR jump over 30 points and me faint just from standing up, he got so excited, and pulled other doctors in to see if they had any ideas what it was. Then he did lots of research, and came up with a game plan for treating me. If anyone who lives around there can get in to see him, I would seriously recommend it. He's definitely worth the trip, even if you have to go a few hours. I'm just devastated that he's leaving here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I'm sorry to hear that you'll be losing such a great doctor, but I'm glad to see that he's coming to Atlanta! Thanks for letting us know.Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I might just be thrilled! How POTS smart is he? Could he tell my endo at Emory whether or not I have Diabetes insipidus? Is he as good as anyone at Vanderbilt? When will he get here? (Sorry for the brevity, I am in a terrible mood right now because of miscommunication with my doctors )Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
