(July 9, 2008 - Insidermedicine) Welcome to Insidermedicine's If I Had, where we get a chance to ask an expert what they would do if they had a medical condition.

On a recent trip to Boston, we caught up with Dr. Steven Schachter, MD, a Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, and the Director of Neurology Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.  Dr. Schachter has authored or edited 16 books on epilepsy, including the popular "Brainstorms" series, and is also the Editor-in-Chief of Epilepsy.com and the medical journal, "Epilepsy & Behavior."

We asked Dr. Schachter what he would do if he just had his first seizure and was seeking diagnostic testing.
