I'll bet 99% of America doesn't know there's 'some sorta implant for brain stuff'. If they were watching, they know now. (P.S. I have a VNS & one of the ways to begin to tell what it is to ppl, I tell them it's sort of like a pacemaker for the brain).

I did not see the show....(wish I knew someone who taped it and willing to share)
But will mention that epilepsy doesnt alway mean death...

I just want to touch on the comment above...although this man in the show did not die from Epilepsy it DOES happen.

I hope the vns is working for you.....
Would love to hear your story.

Hugs
