No one should ever have go through what you are going through -- particularly in the way you are being treated by the medical professionals and their staff -- but, unfortunately, I've heard similar stories. I work with children with physical disabilities, many with neurological impairment.
You can't be derailed by a rude receptionist. Your child needs you to find someone who will listen and help you get to the bottom of this. Make an appointment with the neurologist who ordered the EEG. If he gives you the same answer as the rude receptionist, find another neurologist. It would probably be good for you to make a videotape of the episode to take to any new appointments. Go back to your pediatrician and let him/her know the difficulty you are having. Put your "mother bear" armor on and KEEP TRYING. O.K.?
