Talk to the Docs Report

Last week (3/5/15), I attended the “Talk to the Docs” seminar hosted by the University of California, Irvine (UCI) Epilepsy Center.  It was an informative evening for adults with epilepsy.  It began with a buffet dinner and time for socializing among peers, a good opportunity to connect with other adults with epilepsy.
