Yesterday the Epilepsy Society shared something interesting on Facebook. That’s not to say they don’t usually share interesting things, they often do. Check them out: https://www.facebook.com/EpilepsySociety/. But yesterday they shared something particularly interesting. It was an episode of the BBC’s Inside Science programme, check it out for yourself here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b42q6f. They were reporting from the Hay Festival and interviewed three authors on brain-related topics. Suzanne O’Sullivan, a neurologist who works for the Epilepsy Society, spoke about some of the more unusual symptoms displayed by people with epilepsy and also gave a brief history of how epilepsy surgery has got more accurate over the decades. On the basis of the interview I’ve gone on to Amazon to buy her book, Brainstorm, and it’s already on my phone. Got to love modern technology!
So, why don’t you go off and listen to the interview and maybe read some of the Epilepsy Society posts on Facebook. I’ll go and read Brainstorm by Suzanne O’Sullivan and I’ll see you back here in a few days for a review. OK?
PS I’ve also bought a brain. Admittedly it’s a very small one, and it’s plastic, but it’s one of those that you can take apart and see how it all connects together. More on that later.
PPS Yes, it’s June. It all could be getting very close. Pre-op tests on Thursday…
