This surgery is being done every six weeks in our local hospital in Scotland. John Humphries, a member of Fife Branch of PDS UK, had a pacemaker inserted in February. John had severe tremors in both hands. The wire was placed in the left side of his brain. The tremor in his right hand has stopped. John has no email address.
