ET is about 10 times more common than Parkinson's Disease, which it is often confused with
This episode focuses on his second of this 3-part surgery, implantation of the second electrode. If you include the turn-on phase, it becomes a 4-part surgery.
There are several different versions of DBS surgery, depending on the patient and the surgeon. Mine was done differently than Marcus'.
