Sarah Tee Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 “The concept of autonomic disorders or dysfunction is an uncomfortable one for neurologists and as such remains poorly understood and managed in neurology. Part of this problem is because autonomic dysfunction spans several specialities of medicine, is largely based on good understanding of basic human physiology and anatomy, and interpretation of autonomic function testing is difficult.” Ray Chaudhuri, in the introduction to a textbook review in the BMJ https://jnnp.bmj.com/content/74/4/551.1 Presuming it is this Ray Chaudhuri: http://www.kingsprivate.com/consultants/neurology/professor-ray-chaudhuri/ Bit worrying that he is implying that neurologists don’t have a good grasp of basic human physiology and anatomy!

MikeO Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Thanks for sharing @Sarah Teethis is validating as a couple of Docs at my faint clinic and the director of nero at the same health system participated in a book that outlines the need for ANS testing but yet they don't do any testing outside of a tilt test. Very frustrating. i finally got my faint specialist to acknowledge that her referral for diagnostic testing with nero was flat out declined. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31753129/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
