Question
Kim82
So I went to the TBI clinic yesterday to be evaluated for TBI because I screened positive for it with my Primary Care Dr. So the Dr. asks me all these questions then he asks me if I lost conciousness I told him I don't think I did but everything was a blur at the time of the incident but anyhow so I go to the ROI today to get the results and he contradicts himself in the report so I don't know what to think. I will post what he said now:
Are the history of the injury and the course of clinical symptoms cosistent with a diagnosis of TBI sustained during OEF/OIF deployment: NO
In your clinical judgment the current clinical symptom presentation is most consistent with: A combination of TBI and behavioral health conditions
This is where I am confused he says yes I have TBI but then he says it wasn't sustained during OIF.....um how the hell else did I get it? He even states I did not have any other head trauma so I am so confused. When I showed it to my Pysch Dr. today she looked at it and said he probably checked no on accident, so how do I fix this?
also at the end of the report it lists Impressions and it says:
Concussion, no loss of consciousness, no post traumatic amnesia.
Head Aches
PTSD
Blurring
Hearing Loss
Intraabdominal Bleed, Treated Non Surgically
Should I take the report to the Patient Advocate and see if they can get the dr to fix it? Im not ready to put in a claim with the VA for it yet, because I am still waiting on my inital claim to finalize. I don't want to add to it to slow it down. But I could imagine that when I do file a claim this report is going to make it difficult.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Kim
