Part of the care is the kind of protocol people use to treat Parkinson's Disease. I think some doctors might not be too familiar with DBS as a treatment, therefore if you are not too familiar with DBS, it is much harder to offer. Sometimes there are misconceptions on the risk. Some people think it's extremely risky, but I think it really depends on your surgeons. If your surgeon has done a lot of this procedure and does it routinely, I would say it is a relatively safe procedure. I think awareness is important for what it can achieve, and I think those doctors with patients who have gone through DBS surgery have seen such a dramatic change in the patients. I think the reason why I'm doing this talk is to convey and convert more people into having DBS.
