Intractable

Now that she has been discharged from the hospital, Lizzie is a patient of the Intractable Epilepsy Clinic at Children's Mercy.

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, "intractable" means:
1. not easily governed, managed, or directed
2. not easily manipulated or wrought
3. not easily relieved or cured

It's not a particularly upbeat title for the clinic, but I suspect from all they've told us about her condition that it's fitting.
