true!

I am amazed at the incredible breakthroughs we continue to achieve, but frightened at the incredible breakthroughs we continue to achieve. I hope the best for any person suffering w/ this disease, and if this can help them as it appears then God speed.

I saw a couple of patients with deep brain stimulators last year as a first year medical student. It is probably the closest thing to a miracle as you can get in medicine. They had a tech turn them on and off and the difference was night and day in these patients.

[alecscar07]

and why doesn't Michel j fox do this?

[WildEyed27]

[meanyjojo123]

Hello im Dr. haney i am a nero sergent the object of this is to get a small battery pack in the skull with a wire going into the brain when this gets turned on patients suffer less mussel spasims

[Mightymami]

lmfao if you're a surgeon you need to learn how to spell... NEURO, SURGEON, MUSCLE SPASMS. XD And you might want to do a little more research before you say what it's used for...Doctor... lmao

[lucirz]

i wonder how much it costs to do this operation...

[Hemispeed18]

i am actually a patient who has actually done this surgery, i have familial tremors im 19, it was the best decision ive ever made

Jose, you'll probably never see this, but this man is by far not the first cyborg when referring to the medical definition. Actually, anyone who wears glasses or contacts is considered a cyborg since they are mechanical elements built into the human body in order to extend a human's limitations, which is indeed the definition of a cyborg.

This isn't a permanent fix but it does turn the clock back on the progression of Parkinson's several years. Usually about 7 years worth of progression will be countered by a pair of these properly implanted.

[sheepwshotguns]

isn't parkinson's disease degenerative?

this would only be a quick fix right?

[M7Financial]

Wow!

It is cool to see the first cyborg. I was not aware of such scientific developments. I am happy for him and I can't wait to see what advancements we create next.
