i went for my pre surgey checkup today and chatted to the nurse practitioner about this new procedure which she has witnesssed several times. there are some drawbacks ,she said. the mere fact that you are asleep, means that you cannot inter act with the surgeon so he has to rely on the picture from the mri to place the electrodes. as she puts it, a machine is not as reliaable in this context as a human being..still she says it has great possibilities just being under anaesthetic for a shorter time is less stressful to the body. ________________________________ From: A Phillips <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2011 5:02 PM Subject: Re: you don't have to be awake Last I heard there was a 6-week queue for the MRI machine at my local hospital, so doing operations in it may be impractical. > Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2011 16:14:30 -0700 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: you don't have to be awake > To: [log in to unmask] > > anymore for DBS.
