Produced by Parkinson’s UK, this fantastic series of 10 videos, (to date), charts the journey of Jo Yaldren from thinking about having DBS , through medical assessments, doctors case discussions, tests, meeting with the surgeon and the surgery itself. Very much a personal record with Jo sharing the stages of her condition, feelings, emotions as well as the medical technicalities.
Recommend watching each part in turn, but as the episodes have a title it is possible to select individual sections of interest. Part 1 below.
Thank you for the post. Just watched the first video: it is truly amazing.
