Why would neurosurgeon do brain mri scan on 5th dec and not return any results for the past 7 weeks and now request the patient 2 go back for another 1?

Dr. Eric Wang answered

Call neurosurgeon: This specific question should be directed at the neurosurgeon. If (s)he is not able to give you a satisfactory answer, you should evaluate your existing patient-doctor relationship and you should both work on improving it, or try a new doctor.
