I need some advice regarding an issue with my medical records.
I received an epilepsy diagnosis in 2014, and my records from my initial neurology appointment contain a note describing my seizures as "unresponsive episodes”, which I need to be clarified for those who may read them.
The confusion arises from the interpretation of the term "unresponsive." In my case, "unresponsive" simply meant that I didn't speak during seizures. It did not indicate any loss of consciousness or control.
Upon renewing my driving licence, it was instead revoked, because in a consultant I never met ticked the box saying I’ve lost consciousness based on reading that I had been “unresponsive”.
My current neurologist supports my case but is not able to offer much help in terms of getting things cleared up.
This situation has put my life on hold, and I'm seeking advice on how to address this discrepancy in my medical records. Any insights or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated.
