NCC/ New patients for TCI info

[Guest guest]

I was sent this information, there has been confusion about new patients at

TCI, this should clear it up for everyone:

*

Incoming new patients are pre-screened. Clinically mild cases are

assigned to a TCI Neurologist (Dr Kula or Dr Shelat). Clinically severe

cases are assigned to a Neurologist and to a TCI Neurosurgeon.

*

The Neurosurgically relevant incoming new cases are automatically

split between Dr Bolognese and Dr Insinga, unless the patient explicitly

requests for a given Doctor when the initial consultation is booked with the

TCI staffers.

*

From that point on, the assigned Neurosurgeon is the only TCI

Neurosurgeon in charge of the care of that given patient, the other TCI

Neurosurgeon getting involved ONLY in case of vacations of the case-assigned

Neurosurgeon.

*

The patient has the right to ask for a transfer of care from one TCI

Neurosurgeon to the other, at any point.
