Dear Listmembers, I have been a member of this list for about two years. My company, Axon Instruments, Inc., makes the only FDA-approved microelectrode-guidance system for neurosurgery for Parkinson's Disease and other movement disorders (my boss made me put that in!). We are working with a company that makes "Patient Information" CDs that describe, in sometimes overly simplistic terms, different kinds of neurosurgery. We commissioned them to make one for pallidotomy (and we will probably have them make similar disks for thalamotomy and implantation of deep brain stimulators). We have placed a somewhat modified version (without the voice track) on our web site: http://www.axonet.com/pallidotomy/01.htm If anyone is interested in viewing it and, perhaps posting comments about form and/or content I would be much appreciative. The primary use of these CDs is for surgical candidates to view in the surgeon's waiting room to give them a little better idea about the surgery. I should apologize in advance for the first picture. The CD company was adamant that we use their art. If it is too offensive to enough people, perhaps we could get them to change it. Thank you, Andy Blatz, PhD Axon Instruments, Inc.
