We are sitting in the surgical waiting room. We just starting talking to a woman sitting next to us. She is here for her son in law who will be having the same DBS procedure as Emily. However, he is having it to cure what is called suicide headaches. They are so severe that he cannot function at all. This family flew in from Idaho to see Dr. Starr. They have been seeing him for a year, and this procedure is his last hope. They did research across the world and found out Dr. Starr is the best of the best. This procedure is scheduled to go right after Emily. This physician is just amazing. Are you kidding? Another 6-8 hour procedure right after this? Unbelievable. I am now praying for this gentleman and sending positive thoughts that his headaches will be cured. Unfortunately, this man's insurance would not pay for the procedure. It is costing them$140,000 just for the surgery, and the device. I am so thankful for my job and my great insurance that is covering the entire thing! What a blessing.
