When you go in multiple times for multiple symtoms and without looking at your chart the urgent care doctor tells you that you need to be on anti-depressants, even worse when I only met him three minutes before.

I also had my PCP call and ask me how to spell Chiari!   She just left the hospital and I have been assigned a new doctor.

When you ask your NL what she can tell you about Chiari and she responds that she does not know much but she does know you do not need surgery!

We really need to find a way to get people from the NL to the NS once diagnosis of Chiari is made, my NS told me that of course the NL would not know about Chiari.. THEY CAN'T TREAT IT... her words, not mine!!!
