Can Anesthesia Cause Seizures?

default
Posted on Wed, 22 Jun 2016
Question: I had a seizure under special circumstances, it was induced by the bad practice of anesthesia. I have consulted a neurologist, and he has confirmed my EEG to be healthy and low risk, and is not putting me on medication. I have been seizure free for over 4 years and he still believes my driving privileges need to be restricted even if it was induced and nothing was wrong?
