Default Wow ...

Fowki - DBS 4 years post dx.
Norcalgal - 3.5 years post dx.
Jgreentree - 7 years post dx.

Is DBS now the treatment of choice so early. This is major brain surgery carrying the risk of stroke or death, surely it should be a last resort.

With pwp having DBS so soon can we doubt that the outcome is on the whole positive, i.e. young patients, not too far progressed.

Seems Medtronics marketing strategy is working anyway.
