Abstract
We introduce the concept of the three pillars of DBS and mention why it is important that candidates for DBS have all three. Then we talk about the first pillar, the neurologist. We then talk more about the relationship between Ben and Alfonso and how that relationship helped Ben make this difficult decision. We end with an article from Ben’s website, tmrwedition.com, that is an interview that Ben conducted with Alfonso in 2016 that touches on many relevant topics.
