I apologise to you for the actions of those who share my profession. I truly believe it is ignorance. My med-surg instructor discussed clusters with her headache lecture, but she is always up on the latest and extremely well-informed. I know it makes you angry, but maybe try to teach all you can, maybe take a printout of the medical info for their benefit. I love when a client teaches me something new. (I have been a Nurse for 10 YEARS and the lecture I spoke of earlier took place this past December. before that I did not know of CH, only that I have it :(
Sorry for your experience. I think the Nurses truly were trying to assess you properly. :)
