Why Most Epilepsy Cases Go Undiagnosed—Until It’s Too Late! Dr. Andrew Wilner Explained

In this amazing episode of KhanKlinics, Dr. Amir Khan is here for a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Andrew Wilner, a seasoned neurologist, epilepsy expert, medical journalist, and bestselling author of The Locum Life. With over four decades of experience in medicine and communication, Dr. Wilner shares his unique journey from clinical practice to storytelling—bridging the worlds of neuroscience, lifestyle medicine, and physician freedom. His mission: to treat minds, educate hearts, and empower doctors to build careers on their terms.

Together, Dr. Wilner, Dr. Khan delve into the complexities of epilepsy diagnosis, treatment, and stigma, while also addressing life-threatening brain injuries and the brain’s limited ability to heal. Dr. Wilner discusses groundbreaking approaches to epilepsy care—from modern medications and surgical interventions to laser ablation therapy, a minimally invasive option reshaping outcomes for patients. Drawing from cases like Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai, he reflects on the resilience of the human brain and the importance of early detection.

Beyond the clinic, this episode explores Dr. Wilner’s advocacy for locum tenens medicine, a flexible career path allowing physicians to practice across the globe while pursuing passion projects like writing, teaching, or travel. The trio unpacks how this model combats burnout, supports career transitions, and offers a powerful alternative to traditional employment. Whether you're a physician considering a new path or simply fascinated by the brain and modern medicine, this episode is packed with wisdom, inspiration, and transformative insights on healing, purpose, and freedom.
