When should epilepsy patients consider surgery as treatment for seizures?




In Part One, Making the Decision, Dr. Pete Weber, M.D. explores who should consider corrective surgery as treatment for epilepsy and what qualifies or disqualifies a patient with recurring seizures for surgical treatment.

Dr. Weber is Surgical Director of the Epilepsy Program at CPMC and a Professional Advisory Board Member for the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California.

  • You suck! Another lying ass doctor. You guys don't give a shit....all you want is to grab all that cash. I had that surgery. You just glossed over what will really happen...you KNOW your fucking misleading...What will really happen? Multiple psychiatric problems, Major memory loss and amnesia, emotional problems, Attention/concentration, etc. That surgery ruined my life. I lost my Fiancée, a big time career, friends and family You Piece of shit! You should be a used car salesman.

  • As you can see from the comments, the surgery works for some and not for others. Don't assume that this was only created by doctors, though. The series was created by patients as well, including those who've had it done.

    You are right that it's a serious surgery and patients need to consider all possibilities carefully, something that doctors could be better at helping with.

    Curious where you had yours done. Best of luck either way.
