I mentioned the EEG team is removing the electrodes. One of the members is having a "tough love" discussion with her right now that is probably worth me writing down so she can remember it later.
Rory's reaction started towards the self blaming that she's been wasting everyone's time since they haven't been able to definitively figure out the cause. The tech got down "in her face" to try to turn around her approach. There was a lot of "Hey, there was no time wasted at all from you coming in here. Please don't cry, listen to me. I'm not even kidding here. There are so many reasons why your body is doing this. Just because it isn't coming from the brain just means there is one of a ton of other possible reasons. Obviously what you're experiencing is real, so don't be upset or cry that you think you're making things up or are wasting our time. NONE of our time has been wasted for you."
Yeah, he was pretty blunt and I hope it got through to her. I know that guilt comes quickly to her, and it's a natural reaction, but he was pretty in-her-face with his own reaction to her reaction. But in the end it was out of concern and support and I hope she remembers that part of it.
