I decided to email my neurologist Dr Tyagi on 27th July explaining that my CTA is showing an abnormality within my vertebral and that the Neuroradiologist has not read it properly. I also questioned why the Carotid was mentioned in the report and not the Vertebral. I explained my main concern is that of the drug infusion to be carried out on 31st August because it constricts the blood vessels and I am unsure about it considering I can see a double lumen within the artery. Dr T ignored my questions regarding the scans showing an abnormality and never answered why he questioned a Carotid dissection. He responded on the 3rd August stating the drug infusion is for the headache only and he would seek a further opinion from a colleague of his who has an interest in stroke. My response wasn't too pleasant and I asked that he get back to me soon so that I could make an informed decision on whether to go ahead with the drug infusion. As of today just three days before my hospital stay he has failed to respond to my questions. I have decided to go ahead on Monday 31st August with my hospital stay and have the drug infusion.
