You have company in that Claude. A few posts down the page and you'll see John's thread on the subject. I did a couple of surgical rotations in hospitals when I was a medic and I do not know how I got through that, although I was much younger then.

Awake craniotomies are not new to neurosurgery. I can recall seeing documentaries nearly 50 years ago where brain mapping was being done in the course of therapeutic procedures requiring the patient to be awake. There are no pain issues for the patient.

My father in law had that surgery, twice, once for each side of his brain. Since he can't play guitar they had him do tasks like write, hold a cup of water, read a paragraph aloud.

But without further improvements in the technique his post-op success was limited to a couple good years, and in the last 2 the downward slide has been dramatic and sad.

Here's to hoping that they keep up the good work to make this permanent and available to anyone with Parkinson's.
