Epilepsy is a seizure disorder characterized by recurrent unpredictable seizures. Because of its unpredictability, physicians are often unable to witness the patient’s performance during a seizure, and the clinical manifestations of seizures are crucial to the diagnosis of the disease; therefore, history taking is a very critical and patient thing to do. However, often patients or family members forget the specific seizure form and seizure time and frequency of the patient, discuss them with each other in front of the doctor, get impatient and even get into arguments, each with their own opinion, or cannot tell the ins and outs. Some patients’ families come to the clinic empty-handed and throw away all the previous test results, so there is no basis to find, and they have to be re-examined and need a second visit. However, some patients’ families are very careful and record all the patient’s medical history in detail in a small book, including seizure form, seizure frequency, duration, past medication, etc. All the examination data are well preserved, so the doctor can ask questions based on their recorded medical history, saving a lot of time, and the consultation is smooth, with most of the time spent on giving answers to the patient. The epilepsy center of Shanghai Deji Hospital welcomes thousands of epilepsy patients from all over the country every year. In order to facilitate a smooth consultation for all patients and save time and money for consultation, please read the following points carefully: 1. We hope that epilepsy patients and their families will develop a good habit of taking notes, recording the form of each patient’s seizure and the process of medication adjustment in a timely manner, and keeping all the examination data well. 2, old patients must bring their previous outpatient medical records and previous examination data to the follow-up consultation, you can make an appointment for EEG examination in advance before the follow-up consultation, appointment number 021-66300999-8327, come to our hospital after examination to get the EEG report and then see the outpatient clinic (outpatient clinic can be booked well in advance, appointment number 021-66300999-8000). New patients are advised to bring previous examination data and medical history (including birth, whether there is hypoxic asphyxia, whether there is history of encephalitis or traumatic brain injury, whether there is febrile convulsion, whether there is history of special drug allergy, whether there is family history, and focus on recording the form and frequency of seizures, preferably with seizure video). For the determination of the type and degree of epilepsy, EEG examination with diagnostic value is essential. Considering that most patients are foreign patients, in order to shorten the waiting time for consultation, it is recommended to make an appointment in advance for our long-range video EEG examination, appointment number 021-66300999-8327.
