at our Zoom meeting to be held Monday, December 20, at 6 PM Solothurn time, which is Greenwich Mean Time + 1, 12 noon US, EST, 9 AM, US PST & for Yvonne in the UK, that 5 PM, GMT. (Someone please correct me if I’ve got this wrong.)

We may replace our regularly scheduled Sunday meeting with this one.

“Prof. Jeanmonod and his team have been active for more than 25 years in the field of functional neurosurgery, working on the mechanisms and treatment of chronic functional brain disorders. He holds a professorship in functional neurosurgery at the University of Zurich since 2001 and an adjunct assistant professorship in neurophysiology in the Department of Physiology and Neuroscience of Prof. Llinas at New York University School of Medicine since 1998. He was awarded the Pfizer Price in 1998 for his work “Low threshold calcium spike bursts in the human thalamus: common physiopathology for sensory, motor and limbic positive symptoms”. Prof. Jeanmonod leads since the beginning of 2010 the Center for Ultrasound Functional Neurosurgery in Solothurn (Switzerland).

Prof. Jeanmonod and his team have treated along the years hundreds of patients using the classical stereotactic technique and performed clinical examinations and counselling for thousands of patients. The proposed operations are based on a modern and multidimensional update of relevant scientific and clinical experiences collected in the fifties and sixties. The Center for Ultrasound Functional Neurosurgery is in a position to offer the patients a multifaceted therapeutic contribution, comprising the most updated physio pathological, neuroanatomical and technological developments.

SoniModul Ltd was founded in December 2009 and administers the Center for Ultrasound Functional Neurosurgery in Solothurn. Its whole capital is owned by Prof. Jeanmonod, his wife and their children. Since it started its commercial activity in February 2013, it is and will remain economically, scientifically and clinically fully independent.”

If you want to be in this meeting, you must send me your email address as a private message and I will put you on the list of everybody who gets the Zoom link. I am not keeping a separate list for this meeting, so if you don’t want to get Zoom links after this meeting, you must notify me to take you off the list.

I have had the bilateral PTT procedures and have posted several threads which can be found under my profile.

Also, you can put PTT in the HealthUnlocked search window.

It's already started but at least one patient had a very bad outcome. They did not talk to the Swiss before. Now they are.

That's not good enough. Arrogance run amok. If I were in the market for a PTT, I wouldn't consider Stanford.

It's hard because if you don't have the money Switzerland is not an option :-(

MBAnderson in reply tolenamm

I agree, but there are other places.

Glen has said the radiologist told him they did not use the Swiss target. If that is true, what are you signing up for?

Even if it's not true, what is their percentage of bad outcomes? 50

Odds are not good enough for me at Stanford.

I agree. I think they were hitting the PTT target just a lot more then they do in Switzerland. I have a hard time knowing what was really happening because this storytelling ways are so extreme.

MBAnderson in reply tolenamm

I do wish Glenn would stick to describing his situation more narrowly and not drift so far afield, but watching the video tells his story well enough.
