Is their a reason my neurologist does not show me the films? Is this normal? Is he afraid of psychological effects of me seeing what is there?

A radiologist usually reads the MRI's I'm not saying your doctor will not look at them but the radiologist is the specialist in the field and he's the one your paying to read the films. You doctor will get a report from the radiologist, you won't know what your looking at, your doctor may, out of courtesy show you but, you still won't know what your looking at. Why waste his and your time. You chose him and trust his judgment, believe him.

He is not afraid to show you the films. It has nothing to do with any psychological effects. It is amazingly difficult to read an MRI. You wouldn't even know what you were looking at anyway.

Does he have the scans and is he refusing to show you? I would think you have the right to see them.
It probably works different from country to country. I'm always handed the scans right after the experts at the hospital has had a look at them. The hospital sends their report to my neurologist, I then bring him the scans, and we go over them together in his clinic.
I have to say that it can be quite depressing to see the scans. Even if they show no new damage or much less than expected, then I'm always more acutely aware that I'm sick after looking at them.

Have you ASKED to see them? If not, ask first!!! He/she probably has access to the MRI via the computer, I like to see mine and my neuro always agrees to show me!
If you have asked and he/she refuses based on time or unwillingness or "practice", I would find a new neuro.
If you have been refused because he/she doesn't have access at the moment, ask how you and the doc can get access and make another appt. to see thje doc and look at the pics!
Good luck!!!
