Rewire My Brain
Specialist brain surgeon Dr Steven Toms in the USA operates on patients other surgeons have deemed inoperable.
We follow farmer Robert Jensen as he undergoes surgery to remove a tumour from deep inside his brain; crucially, Robert is awake and communicating with surgeons during the operation.
In the UK, a procedure called Deep Brain Stimulation rewires the brains of patients suffering intolerable conditions. Parkinson sufferer Mike Robins literally switches on and off the tremors which nearly drove him to suicide.
