I think the thing really that infuriates us is the dr blatantly told us that she did this to herself (when in fact he gave her the clean bill of health 20+ years ago... which should have PREVENTED this)
Oh, sweet, if I'm healthy, I will be healthy twenty years from now? I can do whatever I want! Woot!
More to it then that, don't just assume.
This is why people go for annual physicals where they catch this sort of ***. I'm sorry your mom is in a shitty position, but she needs to take some responsibility.
she was given a clean (totally clean) bill of health 20+ years ago (meaning it was gone, forever) it's the Dr. responsibility to ensure that, if they're going to put your through a treatment they need to ensure they get it all gone.
She really had NO reason to suspect it was still there, she really only started to show 'symptoms like 2 or 3 years ago, it just got really bad now when seizures started showing up.
Not really her fault at all.
