What do Neurologists do? • https://www.umhs-sk.org/blog/how-to-b... • Neurologists are medical professionals that focus on treating conditions affecting the brain, muscles, nerves, and spinal cord. They most often work at medical institutions such as hospitals and clinics, where they provide care for patients of every age. When receiving care by a neurologist, a physical examination and a neurological examination are commonly done at your initial visit. A neurological examination will look at your coordination, reflexes, and muscular power. Your neurologist may require more specific testing in order to obtain a diagnosis since many disorders might share symptoms. Numerous clinical procedures may also be suggested by a Neurologist to aid in the diagnosis or treatment of a problem. These might include: • Imaging such as MRI, CT, and PET scans. • Electromyography (EMG). • Lumbar puncture. • Electroencephalogram (EEG). • Tensilon test. • Other diagnostic clinical techniques used by Neurologists include Angiography and sleep studies. • According to AAMC https://www.aamc.org/cim/explore-opti... the 5 most common medical disorders encountered by Neurologists include: • Headaches. • Seizures. • Stroke. • Dementia. • Parkinson's disease. • We would appreciate you watching the other informative videos about How to become a Neurologist as a medical career on our YouTube Playlist • How to become a Neurologist • Please check out all the other great videos on this YouTube channel / @umhsstkitts • and subscribe to our channel / @umhsstkitts • If you are a prospective medical student interested in finding out more about the University of Medicine and Health Sciences please check out our overview page about Caribbean Medical Schools https://www.umhs-sk.org/caribbean-med... • Please check out more articles about other Medical Specialties here https://medical-school-news.umhs-sk.o... • • #neurologist • #neurology • #neurologists • #premed
