In Liz's office…
"I am surprised that you have so less data about Jackson's epilepsy.", Liz didn't try to hide her displeasure.
"Dr. Williams, Jackson's epilepsy is handled by his neurosurgeon. I only know this high-level information.", Dr. Schmitt said with a wry smile.
"You said that you never examined him after a seizure, and you never witnessed a seizure either. How can you be confident that Jackson has epilepsy?"
Dr. Schmitt waved his hands defensively. "The epilepsy was diagnosed by another doctor. I saw the report and I believe that the specialist knows his job. Are you expecting me to doubt the diagnosis of a neurosurgeon?"
Liz exhaled. "Of course, not."
She knows that this is common practice with general practitioners: they trust specialists because they don't have enough knowledge. But this is Jackson and she is trying to find the truth, and the fact that this man does not have any useful information is frustrating.
