Dear Marty, I'd be very happy to share what I learned, however the doctor did not provide handouts. He showed videos and slides, but went too fast for me to get good notes (I have arthritis in my hands and can't write very fast anymore). I do recall, though, that of the operations performed, all had had good results with minimal and mostly temporary side effects. I was very encouraged about DBS after his presentation.
