Neuropsych Appt Scheduled!
After trying for 3 months to jump through the hoops from first the health insurance, second from UCLA, and third from doctors' schedules, I finally have an appt to see the nueropsychologist on Monday! I talked to the doctor today about some of my issues (including my latest nightmare). He seemed very empathetic and interested in talking about and trying to resolve my issues. I felt very comfortable with him over the phone and am looking forward to the appt. It's going to be an all-day thing - from 8:45am to 4 or 5pm. They're going to run all sorts of tests, including checking out my emotions to see if I'm having any post traumatic stress issues.
One of the first questions he asked me over the phone after we got the appointment scheduled was if I was seeing him as part of a litigation process. I found that amusing. I'm guessing he wanted to know whether he was just seeing me to try to get stuff documented for a settlement of some sort or whether he was seeing me because I am sincere in my issues and want help. Theoretically, he'd provide me with the same level of treatment no matter what my answer was, but he probably just wants to know exactly what kind of case he's dealing with. I told him that I have no intention of pursuing the matter with the person who hit me.
