It appears my provider did not provide adequate care and management of dyskenesia symptoms (sever pressure in the gut and chest resembling heart attacks) resulting from levedopa medication prescribed for my Parkinson disease. My Emory care team should have evaluated me for a treatment called deep brain stimulation (DBS) to mitigate my primary Parkinsons and dyskenesia symptoms years ago. I brought this up in the appointment yesterday also because I suffered very severe dyskenesia during a trip to India and I had to visit a provider India. The Indian provider recommended that I am a good candidate for DBS surgery. But I was not given a satisfactory response yesterday to place me for DBS surgerry at the earliest

Sometimes you don't know what you don't know, and it would be helpful if the care provider would maybe coax more information out of the patient.
