From me to my neurologist:
Dr. Palma,Thanks for seeing me today.I left the office without asking you an important question: will you allow me to drive a car?! It has been 9 months since I last lost consciousness from a seizure; and six months since I've felt anything significant.I submitted all the necessary paperwork to Member Services; it should reach you soon.Liz
From my neurologist to me:
Yes. I have no problems with you driving. I await the DMV forms...
