Title: Live webcast of GK for an AN
Post by: Dani on December 20, 2006, 09:16:38 am

Hi,

For any of you that are trying to decide on the Gamma Knife procedure I just heard about this yesterday.  Saint Joseph's Hospital is giving a live webcast of the GK procedure.  This is what their article says: 

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Treatment for an Acoustic Neuroma
January 17, 2007
at 4:00 PM CST (22:00 UTC)
From Saint Joseph's Hospital and Marshfield Clinic

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gamma Knife radiosurgery for an acoustic neuroma will be featured on the sixth webcast sponsored by Saint Joseph's Hospital and Marshfield Clinic. It is set for 4-5 p.m. CST Wednesday, January 17th.

During the webcast, Marshfield Clinic physicians on staff at Saint Joseph's Hospital will discuss the sophisticated treatment option for acoustic neuroma. The program will feature a pre-taped Gamma Knife procedure and real-time panel discussion and analysis.

To see a preview go to http://www.or-live.com/StJoseph/1599/

I'm a little scared to watch it....yet I would really like to know exactly what they do.  I'm trying to decide between the GK and CK procedures.
