They can't help it, they're not magicians.

Well there are some of us here who like to know what is causing the problem
as sometimes it can be helped with oh...... medication, surgery, etc. If the
focal point of ones seizures isn't determined then there is NO possibility
of ever having it treated with surgery. Finding the focus can also rule out
the possibility of surgery and leave one to concentrate on other methods of
treatment. But you know all this already.

You're right in that doctors don't know a lot about the brain and the causes
of epilepsy, though they try their best with what knowledge they have. For
instance, my mother-in-law's neurologist (the best in Australia) drew a dot
on a piece of paper and placed a pencil case next to it. He said that the
pencil case was the brain and the dot was how much they knew about it. They
also had neurologists in New York, Paris and London all saying they don't
know what's going on with her.

Most of us here Tim, don't enjoy having seizures and want to investigate the
causes and possible treatments to minimise them.

Good luck to you.
Darryl.
