A couple of weeks ago, I asked “What would you ask Medtronic about DBS?”. Well there were many questions, submitted, so here are the top ten questions that you, the readers asked. Drum Roll Please… 1. What are the benefits of DBS therapy? What about the risks? DBS therapy has been approved by the FDA […]
What Would You Ask Medtronic About DBS?
After the popularity of my recent post “19 Things You May Not Know About DBS”, I had many questions from my readers. And as I have said before, I am not a Doctor and all though I am freakishly smart, you should probably followup with someone who is a little more serious than myself. Who […]
‘Twas The Night Before Brain Surgery
I have never been lucky when it comes to my health. I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop in life. As a little girl, practicing my gymnastics beam routine on railroad ties in my backyard, I get Creosote splinters all through the bottom of my feet. Goofing around in South Park, Colorado when […]

It was made public today that Robin Williams, who had this week taken his own life, had just been diagnosed and was in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease.
