Today I started working with Dr. Pourdeyhimi at Raleigh Neurology associates. I shadowed her through her full-day schedule from morning to the end of the day. I saw many of her patients with her who had questions varying from tics to headaches to dizziness and blackouts. After seeing a patient with various symptoms including dizziness, blackouts, headaches, leg numbness, and tingling, Dr. Pourdeyhimi explained that the effect of the brain seizing in one area could cause these odd symptoms. She plans to have the patient have some tests done and then follow up. It was very cool and interesting to be able to think about her symptoms and try to figure out what was going on and of course, learn from Dr. Pourdeyhimi the different causes of the things that we were seeing. I am very grateful for this opportunity and for Dr. Pourdeyhimi’s kindness to open her office and her work to me!
