That's good David, same here when necessary. Thankfully I'm no longer in the situation of needing anything to be done. I never hold back from asking a question to my Dr. if feel need too.

Before I make a decision on a new procedure or medication, I would ask a lot of questions and ask for clear and concise answers that you would understand. I would ask for success rates for the particular epilepsy you have. I would ask about possible side effects of the procedure or new medication. How would it affect your job? Make sure you're making an informed decision.

I agree with @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member - and I am in pretty much a steady state.
