  • That's my husband!! Here we are almost 6 1/2 years later and he is still tic free! This surgery was truly amazing and we are grateful for each day that passes that the DBS is working! We will be forever grateful to the doctors and nurses at University Hospital.

    Thanks for sharing this !

    Well, I want to reply you by translating one of the comments in italian. Please make Jeff and his doctors read it, so they know how inspiring and motivating this story has been for all of us :)

    See you!

  • Just wanted to thank you for hosting this video, it's one of the more remarkable documentaries on TS, and makes it much easier for those of us who suffer from it to explain the condition, and explain why we don't just go and get a cure..

  • It's been a pleasure, my friend :) Thank you very much!

see all

  • @Pyewacket723 this is amazing!

  • @Pyewacket723 This is amazing!! I am so thrilled for Jeff and for you that he is tic free and can have a normal life! My 15 year old son has Tourette's that came on pretty fast and furious about 6 months ago. So far his tics have been manageable, and we hope and pray they stay that way!! Wishing you and Jeff all the best for a blessed future and joy-filled life!

  • That's absolutely astonishing and mind-blowing. These kind of things make me proud to be a human being. Long live medical research.

  • stavo leggendo "Un antropologo su Marte", di Oliver Sacks, e la storia del Dr. Carl Bennett è quella che piu' mi aveva schoccato... e vedere questo video mi ha molto colpito e commosso.

    Ciao,

    Dave.
