The total mobile unit service of the Michigan Epilepsy Center and Association (MECA) includes electroencephalography (EEG), neurological consultation, neurological examination, and lectures on epilepsy. From the physician's referral information and the patient's previous medical and hospital contacts and social-medical history, the neurologist adds to the EEG report his diagnostic considerations and suggestions for the continued management of the patient. The referring physician therefore receives both the EEG report and neurological consultation. The very presence of this diagnostic laboratory in an area tends to strengthen the patient-doctor relationship in many instances. One major problem for the mobile unit, which is still not satisfactorily solved, concerns the ideal for which the MECA stands, namely, a total approach, with use of many medical and allied disciplines to determine the causes and the treatment program for each patient. |
