What would you prescribe to people with epilepsy who do not respond to medication? www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-con...

Surgery

Epilepsy surgery
When medicines do not provide enough management of seizures, epilepsy surgery may be an option. With epilepsy surgery, a surgeon removes the area of your brain that's causing seizures.

Surgery usually is done when tests show that:

Your seizures start in a small, well-defined area of your brain.
The surgery wouldn't affect vital functions such as speech, language, movement, vision or hearing.
For some types of epilepsy, minimally invasive approaches such as MRI-guided stereotactic laser ablation may help symptoms. These treatments may be used when open surgery is too risky. This procedure involves using a thermal laser probe directed at the area in the brain causing seizures. It destroys tissue to better manage seizures.

You may continue to take medicine to help prevent seizures after successful surgery. However, you may be able to take fewer medicines and reduce your doses.

In a small number of people, surgery for epilepsy can cause complications. Complications may include a permanent change in thinking abilities. Talk to your surgical team members about their experience, success rates and complication rates with the procedure you're considering.

2008
A new year, a new Zimbabwean dollar. This time inflated by a factor of 10 billion, these bills replace those issued in 2006. By midyear, inflation hits 89.7 sextillion percent. A $100 trillion note doesn’t cover a bus fare.

“All of us were trillionaires and billionaires who could not even buy two bottles of soda,” says Tendai Biti, a member of parliament, recalling 2008.

Top Gun is a sports movie! Just not my favorite gointothestory.blcklst.com/go-into-the-...

I was so exhausted when I got off from the G forces, all the upside‑down, and the physical exhaustion of it all. I immediately called Jim and said, “This is not what we thought this was. We’re not some guy sitting in a cockpit. This is a sport, and these guys are the world’s greatest athletes, and this is what this movie is about.”

That became our metaphor. So for me, Top Gun is a sports movie. It’s about these amazing athletes trying to figure out who’s the best athlete. It’s really a team movie. That’s sort of how we found the heart of that movie.

Scott: I don’t think I’ve ever heard that particular take on it, but it makes perfect sense. It is a sports movie, isn’t it?

Jack: It is. I was a goaltender at Michigan State. I was a walk on and made the freshman team and beat out the scholarship kid from Canada for the position. As a goal tender, you have to be the starter. There’s only one guy on the ice. Sitting on the bench is not an option.

[laughter]

Jack: Jim was a quarterback in high school, so he was that guy. To be a starter you have to be the last man standing. The script was really personal for us. We understood the psychology of it. That’s also why there was a lot of locker room scenes because as an athlete, things happen in the locker room. You put your game face on, and you get ready to play, or you have the consequences of a bad game.
