Originally released: November 13, 2017
How often do you call the plumber and say, "My faucet is leaking," and then the plumber REMOVES your faucet? Problem solved, right? Ironically, this simplistic approach works extremely well in a variety of epileptic conditions. In this week's show, Dr. Myriam Abdennadher and Danielle Becker comment on the protocol and efficacy for surgery in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Produced by James E. Siegler. Music by Little Glass Men, Montplaisir, Three Chain Links, and Squire Tuck. Voiceover by Isa Smrstik. BrainWaves' podcasts and online content are intended for medical education only and should not be used for clinical decision-making.
